AMENDMENT
The City of Jacksonville is considering an amendment to a reverter section related to a vehicle donation. This proposal involves authorizing the donation of a surplus City-owned vehicle, previously used by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) for the “Beat the Heat” program, to The Brumos Collection. The vehicle is valued at $15,000 and is intended for display at their museum located at 5159 San Pablo Rd S, as well as other venues in Duval and St. Johns counties. The proposed restricted use period for the vehicle is the greater of 5 years or the time it retains any JSO insignia. This item is currently pending review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. This action would involve the transfer of a donated asset and potential administrative changes related to its oversight and insignia use. Businesses involved in vehicle maintenance, display, or related legal and administrative services may find opportunities as this item moves through the review process.

CM Freeman invited Mr. Peterson to explain the $200,000 added to the appropriation. Mr. Peterson explained that the Council originally approved the initial $5 million as part of the 2025-2026 budget, and CM Freeman added $200,000 from another initiative that was not moving forward. He said that the money would go to Kids Hope Alliance (KHA), which would issue an RFP.
This item concerns a proposed $5.2 million initiative to fund youth programs. The City Council previously approved $5 million, and an additional $200,000 has been added. This funding is intended for programs serving youth ages 16-24, with a focus on workforce development and apprenticeship. Kids Hope Alliance (KHA) will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to distribute these funds. The RFP is currently being drafted by John Everett at KHA and will require approval from the KHA board before becoming available. This funding is planned as a one-time, single-year expenditure, though KHA hopes to make it a multi-year program. The project is currently under review and pending council and KHA board approval. Once approved, the RFP will be released, likely leading to site clearing and grading, utility work, and construction or renovation for program delivery, followed by operational setup and program implementation. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in youth development, workforce training, and related fields should reach out to KHA early to understand the RFP requirements and potential opportunities before bids are finalized.

CM Peluso provided background on the resolution, explaining that the Council had approved a previous resolution in which the City recognized its role, along with the state and federal governments, in redlining. He continued, explaining that FHA loans were rarely given to people in black and brown communities and that the federal government encouraged people not to invest in those communities. He said that the previous resolution, which recognized the impact of redlining, sought to address it. He said that despite this, a medical examiner’s office and morgue were built in the historically redlined Brentwood neighborhood, leading to community complaints.
A resolution is under review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee regarding the potential location for a new jail. This resolution aims to prevent the new jail from being built in historically redlined communities, specifically mentioning the Brentwood neighborhood where a medical examiner's office and morgue were previously constructed. The project is in the planning and review stages, with a consultant, CGL, selected to assist in site selection. The process involves identifying potential sites, with an initial report anticipated early next year. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage. The eventual construction of a new jail, estimated to be several hundred acres, will involve site preparation, grading, utility work, paving, building construction, and landscaping. Businesses involved in heavy construction, civil engineering, general contracting, and material supply may find opportunities as the site selection and planning processes move forward.

CM Salem asked for the average salary for the grant coordinators. Mr. Peterson said the average salary is $76,200, and with benefits, it comes to $98,190. CM Salem asked whether they were requesting $139,000 or $252,000 for each position. Mr. Peterson said that the amount reflects the combined positions. CM Salem asked if there would be a senior position; Mr. Peterson confirmed there was. CM Salem asked if the two positions would be dedicated to the Eastside Community Grants Program. Mr. Peterson said that was the intent. Maribel Figueroa from Grants and Compliance also confirmed they would be dedicated to the Eastside Community Grants Program. CM Salem asked how much the senior position would be paid. Ms. Figueroa said the range was approximately $90,000 to $110,000.
This civic agenda item concerns the proposed creation of two grant coordinator positions, one senior and one junior, intended to support the Eastside Community Grants Program. The senior position is expected to have a salary range of approximately $90,000 to $110,000, with the average salary for grant coordinators being $76,200 and $98,190 including benefits. The total funding requested for these combined positions is either $139,000 or $252,000. This item is currently pending review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. While no construction is involved, the establishment of these positions will lead to the need for administrative and professional services related to grant management and program oversight. Local businesses offering professional services, particularly in areas like accounting, business consulting, and administrative support, may find opportunities as the program develops and requires ongoing support. Engaging early could provide an advantage as the program's needs become clearer.

CM Salem said he was a proponent of down payment assistance and asked if this bill took money away from this program. Travis Jeffrey from Housing and Community Development said they were moving money from the Down Payment Assistance program to cover administrative costs and that the companion bill will replenish that funding in the Down Payment Assistance program.
This item concerns a proposed shift in funding for the Down Payment Assistance program. The city is considering moving funds from this program to cover administrative costs. A companion bill is planned to replenish the Down Payment Assistance program's funding.

Local businesses in financial services, legal services, and administrative support could be involved in managing and processing these fund transfers and related documentation. Early engagement may be beneficial as the details of the funding replenishment and future use are clarified.

The election would ask qualified voters in Duval County if they approve continuing the current one-mill ad valorem tax for school operational purposes for an additional four years. This tax is currently set to end on June 30, 2031, and the proposed extension would run from July 1, 2027, to June 30, 2031. The item is currently under review, having gone through several readings and committee approvals, with a final approval by the City Council on June 9, 2026. If approved by voters, this would involve the collection and allocation of tax revenue for school operations. Local businesses involved in finance, accounting, and government services may find opportunities related to the administration and oversight of these funds. Early engagement with the relevant government bodies could provide insights into the process.
