CM Boylan asked for an explanation of how the Comprehensive Emergency Plan is completed and what is different in the updated plan. Noah Ray of the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department said the Comprehensive Emergency Plan serves as the base plan for all emergency management activities and operations within the City. He said the plan deals with declared states of emergency and more limited emergencies. He added that, typically, the City will reorganize under the incident command system, with different departments and agencies assuming different roles to address different scenarios. He said there is no latitude to make many changes to the plan because it follows a standardized national model. He said there are 70 annexes to the plan, covering different types of emergency operations that could occur.

CM Boylan asked for the impetus of the bill. Eric Fuller, Administrative Services, explained that the legislation allows a restrictive covenant to restrict the use of groundwater and portions of the right-of-way on Bishop Gate Lane and Lomax Street, thereby enabling regulatory closure with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. He said the adjacent properties would also be entering into a restrictive covenant. He said the site had been remediated by removing over 15,000 tons of contaminated soil, though some residual impacts on groundwater remain. CM Boylan asked if residents are exposed to those impacts. Mr. Fuller said there was no impact.
The City of Jacksonville is reviewing a proposal to place a restrictive covenant on groundwater and parts of the right-of-way along Bishop Gate Lane and Lomax Street. This action is intended to allow for regulatory closure with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Adjacent properties will also be included in this restrictive covenant. The site has undergone remediation, with over 15,000 tons of contaminated soil removed, though some groundwater impacts remain. This item is currently pending review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. The work involved would focus on legal and administrative processes related to environmental remediation and land use restrictions, rather than new construction. Businesses specializing in environmental consulting, legal services related to real estate and environmental law, and potentially land surveying could find opportunities in supporting this regulatory closure process. Engaging early in this review phase allows for understanding the specific requirements and timelines before final permits are issued.

CM Boylan asked if any reporting was required. Bill Clement of JSO said two reports were required within one year. CM Boylan asked for details on what those reports entail. Mr. Clement said First Coast Crime Stoppers would have to report its spending.
This item concerns a proposed appropriation to support First Coast Crime Stoppers. The City of Jacksonville's Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee is reviewing this potential funding.

This item is currently pending review, indicating an early stage in the public process. The work involves financial oversight and reporting, rather than physical construction. Local businesses specializing in financial services, accounting, and legal services may find opportunities related to the reporting and compliance aspects of this appropriation.

CM Clark-Murray asked whether the amount being appropriated was the total cost to remove the vessels and whether the owners of the derelict vessels would be penalized through taxes or fees. Melissa Long, Chief of the Environmental Quality Division, said the money came from a grant specifically to remove the four vessels. She said three of the owners were identified and would not be able to register any vehicle unless they paid a fine. She added that the Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) went through the process to identify the owner of the fourth vessel but was unable to do so.
This item concerns the planned removal of four derelict vessels. The City of Jacksonville's Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee is reviewing this project.

This project will involve specialized marine contractors for vessel removal and disposal. Early engagement with marine salvage and environmental cleanup firms is advised before final plans and permits are issued.
