AMENDMENT
This item concerns a planned roadway extension project in Jacksonville. The project proposes to extend a subject roadway to Normandy Boulevard, passing through the site of the new Jacksonville Fairgrounds. This amendment is currently pending review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. The work would involve amending code sections related to noticing requirements. Because there are no affected property owners along the existing designated roadway, a waiver for specific noticing requirements is being processed. This early stage means that detailed site plans, bids, and permits are not yet settled. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in potential future work related to site preparation, utility work, paving, or other construction services should consider reaching out now to understand the project's progression. Early engagement can provide an advantage as the project moves forward.

AMENDMENT
This item concerns proposed changes to the qualifications for advisory board members for two Community Redevelopment Areas (CRAs) in Jacksonville: Renew Arlington and KingSoutel Crossing. The proposed amendments would adjust residency and business location requirements for board members. Specifically, for the Renew Arlington CRA, the business owner member would need to own a business within Council District 1, and citizen members would need to live within Council District 1. For the KingSoutel Crossing CRA, citizen representatives would be allowed to live, work, or own a business within three miles of the CRA boundary. This matter is currently pending review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. The potential scope of work involves administrative and legal services related to amending the CRA bylaws and potentially updating related documentation. Local businesses involved in legal services, government relations, and administrative support may find opportunities as this proposal moves through the review process. Engaging early could provide insight into the final requirements and any associated administrative tasks.

CM Amaro offered an amendment. Ms. Schell explained that the amendment would change the geographic boundary for the Renew Arlington Advisory Board member qualifications for Categories 2 and 5 to be within Council District 1. The motion was seconded.
This item concerns a proposed change to the geographic boundaries for advisory board member qualifications for the Renew Arlington and King Soutel Community Redevelopment Areas. The proposal aims to expand these boundaries to include entire Council Districts 1 and 10, respectively. This change is under review to address difficulties in finding qualified board members due to current restrictive boundary requirements, which have led to meeting quorum issues and delayed actions. The expansion is intended to broaden the pool of eligible candidates and support community redevelopment efforts. The process involves reviewing proposed boundary adjustments and potential amendments. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this item as it progresses, as future redevelopment plans tied to these advisory boards could create opportunities for site preparation, construction, and related services. Early engagement before final plans and permits are established may offer a competitive advantage.

CM Salem asked Mr. Peterson to verify that the General Fund Operating Reserves dollars being appropriated by this bill had been previously allocated and then fell into the Reserves. Mr. Peterson confirmed that the dollars had been appropriated in 2024 and that the contract allowed them to be carried over to September 2025, at which point they were returned to Reserves. CM Salem asked CM Johnson what changes had occurred to make him hopeful that the project would proceed. CM Johnson said that Judge James Ruth was now the Chair of the board responsible for overseeing the project and had explained the plan.

COUNCIL RULE 4.505 DISRUPTION OF MEETING
This item concerns a proposed rule change for public meetings in Jacksonville, Duval. The Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee is reviewing a rule that would allow officials to bar or remove individuals who disrupt meetings. The rule outlines specific behaviors considered disruptive, such as political campaigning, excessive noise, or displaying signs larger than 21 inches by 21 inches. This matter is currently under review by the committee. If approved, the rule would primarily impact meeting conduct and security, rather than involving physical construction or direct trade work. However, any changes to meeting procedures could indirectly affect the need for security services or administrative support for public forums. Businesses that provide security, administrative support, or legal services related to public administration might find this review relevant as it shapes future public engagement protocols.
