The amendment was moved and seconded. Mr. Peterson explained the amendment. The amendment was approved unanimously.
This item concerns an amendment related to ballpark renovations. The amendment was approved unanimously by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. Funds totaling $36 million have been spent over the past four years on ballpark renovations, with specific amounts allocated in FY22-23, FY23-24, FY24-25, and the most recent budget. These funds were previously approved at a lower amount and amended to the current total. The approved amendment will use dollars set aside for capital items at the ballpark, including concourse lighting and door lock/key replacement, which will now be delayed. Future funding for the ballpark will need to be addressed, especially as convention development tax dollars will be redirected once the new Jaguars stadium is completed. This situation may create opportunities for contractors and suppliers involved in ballpark maintenance, upgrades, and related capital projects.

• Modifies a condition to forgiveness of the Loans to provide that JU needs to demonstrate it has achieved an overall enrollment of at least 175 students prior to 9/30/27
This civic agenda item concerns a modification to loan forgiveness conditions for JU, an entity located in Jacksonville, Duval. The proposed change would require JU to show an overall enrollment of at least 175 students by September 30, 2027. This is a shift from the current rule, which demands an average enrollment of 175 students for two consecutive academic years before that date. JU's Fall 2025 enrollment was 135 students, and Fall 2026 enrollment reached 211 students, averaging 173 students over the two-year span. All other requirements for loan forgiveness have been met. This item is currently under review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. While this item does not involve direct construction, it could lead to future needs for professional services related to financial planning, legal counsel, and business consulting as JU works to meet the revised enrollment targets. Early engagement with JU could provide opportunities to offer services that support their enrollment goals.

CM Boylan said there was a bill awaiting the Governor’s signature that would allow millage referenda to appear on the ballot without going through county commissions, and asked Ms. Staffopoulos whether she was familiar with it. She said she was not, and that it would have no effect until signed. CM Boylan suggested deferral until it was signed. Ms. Staffopoulos said there would not be time to make the ballot if the bill gets deferred.
This civic agenda item concerns a proposed state bill that would change how millage referenda appear on ballots. Currently, the School Board directs the City Council to ask the Supervisor of Elections to place a millage referendum on the ballot. This process is described as a ministerial obligation. The pending bill, if signed into law, would allow these referenda to appear on the ballot without going through county commissions. The item is currently under review and awaiting the Governor's signature. If enacted, this change could streamline the process for voters to decide on continuing a one mill tax for an additional four years. This situation presents an opportunity for legal services and government relations professionals to advise clients on the implications of the pending legislation and its impact on future ballot measures.
