This item concerns a proposed amendment to city code regarding street name changes. The amendment would waive a requirement that street name changes apply to the entire length of a street. This change is currently under review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. If approved, the change could affect how street names are managed in the future. This process is in its early stages, offering an opportunity for businesses to engage before final decisions are made. While no specific construction is detailed, future projects involving street signage or related infrastructure could be influenced by this policy change. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this review process for potential impacts on future work.

The emergency was moved and seconded. Heather Reber, Council Auditor’s Office, explained the nature of the emergency. The emergency passed unanimously.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) is planning to move its District 3 substation from its current location at 8875 Liberty Ridge Drive, Suite 110, to a new site at 8301 Cypress Plaza Drive. The current lease expires on November 7, 2026, and the owner of the building is not extending the lease to develop apartments and condominiums. The new location is approximately three miles north of the current site and was chosen after a two-year search considering pricing, parking, and public access. This item is currently under review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. The project would involve the relocation of the substation, including potential site preparation, interior build-out, and the setup of necessary operational equipment and systems. Contractors specializing in general contracting, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painting, flooring, and potentially security systems could find opportunities. Reaching out to JSO early could provide an advantage as plans and permits are still being finalized.
