Rules Committee · 2026-05-18 · agenda_item

The City of Jacksonville's Rules Committee is considering a proposal that would allow the Chief of the Real Estate Division to negotiate and purchase interests in real property for 17 identified parcels. This item is currently pending review. The authorization includes making offers up to 25% above appraised value and up to $100,000 for business damages, separate from legal and professional fees. The Chief is also authorized to negotiate and pay for attorneys' fees and costs. If negotiations fail, the Office of General Council may begin legal proceedings to acquire properties through condemnation. This process could involve legal services for property acquisition and potential condemnation proceedings. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage early to understand the scope of work as plans develop, as this early stage offers the best opportunity to compete for potential contracts before bids and permits are finalized.
