And I was notified that Councilmember Ju'coby Pittman on the way. So. We're going to able We have to actionable items on the gender of 2026, 0, 5, 70. >> And >> 2026, 0, 6, 34. Begin with item one, 2026, 0, 5, 70. Can I get a motion substitute that? Can someone explain the substitute? Okay. Visiting member Michael Boylan that your Bill, thank you, MR. Thank you for the opportunity to speak to this bill. >> My 3rd time around. So I hope I get it right this time you've got a couple of handouts we provided for The journey of this bill. Let me start there. This goes back to OCTOBER of last working with my luck or e to see putting together this bill based upon the active interest. I've Commander Pittman, Tillman this morning. And she mentioned that every cpac meeting she goes to she hears about e-bikes and the concerns of that. And I have to say apart from the Sikh, you know, I work. I would offer that much. This is a bill that Bill I'm introducing here. I've gotten so much support for General community say we've got to do something about this. And I said yesterday, you know, to think a child whose only qualifications that his feet can reach a paddle can go 20 miles an hour on a sidewalk. Is flawed. Thinking in my mind and so we moved ahead with this bill. And there's a lot of things in this bill already in place. So I'm gonna him speak right now to the some of the items that were recently added following number one, our notice meeting multiple conversations with jso about the concerns of the enforcement of this bill and and then the which we did not do in Tilbury last education component of it. In your packet, you'll have a sheet that itemize is the 9 specific changes to the bill. By the way, what happened yesterday Neighborhoods as the modified the last item to date specific. And talk about that in just a couple of minutes. So we've focused on specifically speed limits on and and age of use and write those kind of focuses number one. State statute does already provide local governments the opportunity to create an ordinance. But in doing so they maintain that the speed limit should be no more than 15 mile, not 50 miles an hour on either side walks and our sidewalk areas. So in the crafting of this bill, will all we niche? Ali, start to 10 miles per hour. And had an age appropriate, appropriate, prohibition in here. Items number 4 and number 6, we eliminated the age appropriate one, although not my best interest but to accommodate the concerns raised by jso out the ability to recognize whether or not a child is 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 and center. So that was one that we act and we accommodated jso with respect to that. But the 15 mile an hour speed was initially we put in a 10 for the sidewalks inside pass preclude speed the right of ways they can drive faster as you probably know or MAY not become an expert on e-bikes statues there up. There are 3 classes of e-bikes one to have manufactured limits of 20 miles per hour on those 2 bikes. By class. 3 bikes can go up to 28 miles per hour. And that's where we are today, which owned by that and France jso to has determined that 28 unacceptable speed because that's what the statute allows based upon the manufacturer limitations. Many kids, families, perhaps boy's older, have found ways to circumvent that speed limit Andres So we have to be sensitive to that on our management. Speak to that as well. We did establish an authority 4. The city to implement a sign signage program. And that was a concern that was raised again yesterday, but also in your packet is an e-mail from doc from Chris LeDoux who was here yesterday. That speaks to The concerns for some folks was that the price of signage. We'll talk about that in just a second, because I just asked a question of our folks, the auditors and Michelle about the use of funds for this. But in there, it's going to talk about speed limit signs right now. Right now, according to the the Manual on Urban Traffic Control devices because there's nothing specific in the state statutes regarding the number and or location of speed limit signs. But this what offers, the fact that speed limit signs need to be mounted at the main arteries leading into a municipality or took a terminal area. So that is limits quite significantly. What we need and terms of statutory requirements to not even statute. The recommendations to let people know we are imposing a 15 mile an hour speed limit. I just reached out to my eyes. I mention. Lister Lipski and Michelle. I just went back and took a look collectively, as know, that we to council district council members were awarded afforded. $45,000 Lowndes. First Safe Streets Initiatives. Collectively. I just looked at the numbers and told them up. It's over a half a million dollars available to us to be use. And I've asked Michelle to take a look to see if, in fact it's at the discretion of a city council person. They want to use some of those funds for speed limit signs on sidewalks. We're going make a determination if that's possible. And if it isn't possible right now, I will look late likely and offer an amendment to existing ordinance for the appropriations funds to allow that process. So in those districts where you see a lot of activity involving e-bikes our particular streets that have bike situations. You'll have the capacity as the District Council members to have signs, but and that speaks directly to the concern that jso had yesterday's Undersheriff course. You mentioned the fact that they would have a difficult time justifying a speeding ticket. Now what we encourage them to understand, appreciate also build into this bill. I apologize for going on MR. CHAIRMAN, appreciate tolerance. Me to do so. That we made it very specific in the bill that if it's 15 mile an hour that is in place. And and officer clearly recognizes an operator bunny bike on the sidewalk is going well past 15 miles per hour. They don't necessarily need to cite them for speeding. They can cite them for reckless operation. And noting that the ordinance Pacifica now states, as you can see an item number 5. Noting the exact speed limit, the speed of the operating But the bike is a necessary requirement for for a sighting a citation to be issued. The last piece is number 9. Again, part of the concerns is understanding and appreciating that we need to educate parents. And and we had met fall here yesterday morning. During rules with the programming planning department talking about their readiness and willingness provide brick and mortar vendors of e-bikes the necessary tools, signage, etc, to educate families about the safety and the rules of the road, if you will, are rules of the sidewalk to as it relates to e-bikes. I offer and I appreciate move and that the substitute has been moved by one and the opportunity to speak to it. And I know you heard most of this yesterday, chair, so I apologize for going on and on about it. But I think it's really important and I want to finish with a night where I started. You know, we've got to do o'clock where, yes, it was very passionate about this. And I did appreciate your comments as well. You know, there's expectation of us as city collects officials to focus on issue. That's a concern to everyone. Is this going to solve all the problems? Know? But it certainly is a great start in that process. So I appreciate your time and thank you for the opportunity to go on and on and on about Thank you. Thank you, MR. Charity missing areas is in the queue. >> Thank you, chair and to counter Boylan. I wiser only e-bikes e-scooters on this bill. Councilmember ask you to ask that question. >> You know, I I think we can do that. I wanted to keep the simple and straight forward. >> I knew this enough times and getting this done and particularly given the posture of jso going into it. So will focus on this. We wanted to use good ERs. We can build upon. This is a process to me. This is the opening shot on about direct the fact this was injured conversation with Chris to do about this a couple of days ago. He says this is an issue that China do with 15 years ago. What we're seeing is replication hear what what's happened in other countries. I mean, I thought where they read usa, I think with getting there now requiring a driver's license to use an e-bike, we're seeing a lot of places picking up. Illinois just passed some legislation limiting age and speed of bicycles. E-bikes. So I want to focus on e-bikes e-scooters can come. I welcome the opportunity for you or others address that either as an addendum to this bill. At some point in time and just want to get this bill done as it is today and hopefully we can use it as an entree to having further conversations on e-bikes e-scooters and even And I respect that. I mean, it's it is your bill. So whatever you want to do is fine. But I just think that it just makes sense to to just talk them both because at the end of the they're both the same thing. E-scooters you have high-performing going up right now to go to 40 to 60 miles an hour. >> And you know, you get neighbors like not done. Town halls recently They've had issues with the bison e-scooter. So I think in this bill could actually appease both worlds. And really want to change much of anything designing the men, which it says e-scooters in it as one. And then the second thing is I don't see anything operating these advisories. Scooters without like proper safety gear, helmets and all that. It's building is in the budget. I didn't know that as and then I put in the budget that does talk about the requirement wearing a helmet, including passengers wearing a helmet and even to the extent if you go through the bill bill, you'll see if the bike doesn't accommodate a passenger and not have a passenger on it. And you know, the lights you know, all the kind of other things you would expect to see in this bill. It's a fairly comprehensive bill and thanks to Korean its drafting of it. It does speak to all of that and threw the chair one. More of a statement or comment. But weren't we time on? Number 9, new retainer, education provision. I know that these e-bikes and scooters, obviously so than their manufactured a certain way. But there's aftermarket upgrade so you can do. And these retailers are selling them. All right. So what can we find these retailers for for sending upgraded things? We haven't. I didn't address that in this dark place. I'm sorry to the chair. I did not specifically address of the bill, but we've, you know, raise the awareness of the responsibility of the retailers in this process of educating them will start with that. >> At some point in time, I think it's possible for us to take a look at that. Okay. Cool. Why? I think it's a great bill and would love to be out as a co-sponsor police and then maybe later on, we can. >> Just keep on adding more to this is an evolving bill. I foresee it. >> Thank To MISTER Pelosi were in the queue year. Yeah, thank you, chair. I just want to make so scooters and bikes are different state law and 20 other reasons why and scooters actually have. >> There was a little a lot more to the scooter issue. Then there is issue for whatever reason. I think it's because of some of the companies that idea bikes scooters. So I'm I'm with you. Do that when you talk a little bit more spurs seeing massive expansion of it in my particular. So send them with the bikes. Very pleased with this. And I'm I'm please see, we don't have answer here today to kind of return against you. I guess I guess he did the good work Councilmember want. >> Thank you. MISS Opelousas to Gaffney. Thank you to the judges on bn as a co-sponsor. This appointment that you intend to. I'll stand down. This holder. >> Yes, her this at length yesterday as a mom with children with e-bikes and e-scooters. I love the the parameters that's being set on us. So thank you for your good work. Also like to be at is a co-sponsor to the bill. Thank you. >> Thank you, MR. Boyle and I call you chair second ago for audience I know who you Quick questions just to follow up on the educational piece of the posting of signage at the retailers that the extent of the education that you speak >> Well, what we want to make it easy for them to do and what the plane department do. There's welcome that here already 40 deal with the pain Department also have education that herald open so we can put them in their hands at the very minimum. The goal is to put signs, having create and provide them signage that they with that has a qr code to direct family members to where they can get information regarding that. If they're willing to take on handing out brochures and pamphlets already manufactured. That certainly is easy to do. >> And when you speak of education does is extend to the big marketplaces like Amazon. If you're buying challenge. I appreciate that. We spoke specifically to brick and mortar week. Obviously we can legislate nationally that Amazon use lies kind of this thing. But I think you're going to see that becoming more of a standard. I suspect at some point time we'll see even federal legislation in addition to perhaps the state coming back around to this conversation again, count Congress, as you know, Governor DeSantis vetoed 3 Senate Bill, 3, d 2, but not so much because didn't like the idea of e-bikes. It was there was a lot of administrative responsibilities of associate was build what she thought was onerous. He didn't want to support, but yes, that that is a challenge on our and I recognize that. >> And one more questions, sir, the you mentioned the $45,000 each council members district >> aggregated amount of half a million. I think you said 503, Are you suggesting that each councilmember used their own money to make this a priority? As I said, all, we are required through the manual. The traffic manual is the fact that we put them in the perimeters of the city leading into the city. I'm suggesting if you as a council member of the district and having specific area, we're seeing a large congregation of the bikes. >> That you might. Again, we're looking see in the show if you had chance take a peek at or not, if the state's strict conditions allow us to use money for this segment to me, it's a safe street issues. i would think the answer is yes, but be that as it MAY. If you have on Arlington or or whatever in in your district, you see excess amount, number of bikes or incidents involving bikes. You see I'm gonna by half a dozen times and put them on specified streets to make sure people are aware of that opportunity of. The speed limit. Right? Thank you, Arias. Second time. >> All right. To MR. Boiling, do we have an estimated cost and how much the signs will cost? >> According to Chris LeDoux yesterday, he said we need proper roughly. 26 27 times for the main arteries leading into the county and he says between 10 $15,000. So Richard just wanted on individual side just and I don't have a number yet on That many of those could be upended to existing speed limit signs on the road. He's been mounted on the side. But only ask because I know that in my district I musings my safe streets for a lot of other Councilmembers MAY not even have. So the 45,000 I do have. >> I know you know that much. I saw that. I my question through the chair would be too more than it. Probably mis sickler if I MAY call her up here. But if this bill passes and we are mandated to put signs and we don't have dollars in our city. Streets is something that the city public works could in cumber a cost of because I do have money for that. And I need the size of my district. So chair, that's okay. >> Thank you, sir. Yes, ma'am. This Nina sickly. >> Good morning. Need secure public works. As as Councilmember Boylan said, the total cost about 26 27 signs. It's been 10 $15,000 that would put them at just under 1000 dollars apiece 8 800 to $1000 apiece. We don't currently have that budgeted in public works budget. However, you know, the dollar amount fairly modest. And so, you know, we could work with the council members and administration to determine how you know where those critical areas might be figure out how they could be funded. >> Okay. Thank you so much. And I appreciate the help because obviously this is something that's important in all different districts. And I don't think we need 27 in each district that think like you said, you know, some parts of I needed more than others. So thank you. Thank you, MR. In some supposed know what's been on the steps. Service one of You need for the conversation. All in favor of substitute. Is that a voice vote about both MISS Show. >> All in favor of the substitute. Any oppose. Go ahead. MISTER Appointment r b for correct the Ouc. But the bill offered as a subject see, you know, but it's absurd. Your body on the bill as has substituted. >> With a tear to the committee Councilmember violent the proper procedures. To me the substitute to a voice vote and then move. The bill has substituted its treated almost like an amendment. >> The bills of any any further discussion. Open your ballots and vote. >> Iv a 0 nays. >> By your actions, you for proof. >> Item number 2 on our agenda this morning is 2026. 0, 6, 34 can I get a motion? We have the audience, jh treasure ages to explain the what's being asked of here. >> Good morning, MR. CHAIRMAN members of the committee, my name is a j Soto and the Treasury j a. Here to speak to this piece legislation we have before you if the chair would permit, I just kind of like to go over the history of this for the record. So prior to 2023. Jta would come back to its board and subsequently to the city Council on as needed basis to seek authorization for issuance of debt. And so what you end up having is this kind of patchwork quilt of authorizations since 1988. For the electric system. And since 1997 for the water sewer system made it very hard to track. It certainly made it very difficult in terms of transparency for the public or even for the council to understand how much debt have outstanding. How much is it allowed to have outstanding? And so? In 2023. My predecessor and I ran piece of legislation through the council 2023 7.24, which formally established not to exceed that outstanding amounts for each of our systems. 1.9 billion for the electric Enterprise, 2 and a half billion for the water sewer system and 150 million for the district energy system, which we call our children water system. And so since that legislation was approved at the end of fiscal 23, we pledged to the council on annual basis that we would provide a one page summary that got submitted with our budget. And it was our way of proving compliance with the not to exceed that outstanding limit that the council had authorized while at the same time trying enhance the transparency so that way anyone from the public can go pull that one page summary to see how much that we have outstanding. Relative to how much that we were planning to issue and where we thought we would end the coming fiscal year. So which brings us to JUNE of 2026. When we went back to our board to request further increase to the not to exceed that outstanding amount for each of our systems. And so since 2023, we have endeavored to we've executed 3 transactions. And at the same time, looking forward through fiscal year, 26, where we just closed on 2 bond transactions, one for the electric system, one for the water sewer system and looking at our planned bond transactions for Fy 27. >> We're projecting that we will have reached the capacity at least on the water sewer side and will maintain some capacity on the electric system. And so that's why we're back here asking for an increase. I just want to can tax allies, some of it because i understand. And I'll take it system by system. If the chair would have it. Go ahead on the electric enterprise. We're requesting an increase in the current authorization from 1.9 billion to 3.9 billion. Certainly a lot of money last reach its debt, outstanding peak in 2009 at 4.3 billion. And we had an outstanding debt to asset ratio, excess of 90%. So 3.9 certainly not a new peak for j. A and we're projecting we would reach a debt to asset ratio. I'll call it in the mid to high 50's at the end of this borrowing cycle. What's driving the need on the electric side as you all are very familiar with is the construction of the new combined cycle natural gas plant, which is replacing is replacing existing Generation Northside unit 3, which is a 1977 unit. That's nearing the end of its useful life. And so of this 2 billion dollar increase or seeking 1.5, 7 billion is tied to the combined cycle. Natural gas plant. We have 3 or 4 major transmit utility transmission corridor projects going on in the electric system as well. On the water sewer system. You know, that system reached its peak that in 2011 at 2.1 billion with a debt to asset ratio of 70%. So certainly 2 and a half billion was a new peak for the system. And, you know, I would offer that 3.7 billion, certainly represents a new peak for the system as well. You know, the issues on water, sewer. There's a couple of them. One we spent excess of a decade and are investing in the water sewer system to the point where the capital investments we're making the system more, not even enough to keep up with the depreciation that system. It's something that we would get for by the credit rating agencies on a regular basis because if you're not investing enough in your system, that impacts system reliability and service that you can provide to customers as well. At the same time. Since we last reached that peak in 2011 you know, there has been unfunded mandate from the state known as Senate Bill. 64, which eliminates discharge of treated waste water onto the surface, surficial water bodies of water. And so in order to comply with that, it's very expensive as well. J has undertaken several efforts to enhance our water treatment efforts and to comply with that mandate from the state as well. So you've got a bit of a compounding issue going on where you're paying for years of underinvestment in the system and at the same time trying to comply with these mandates from the state. So that's what's driving the need on the water sewer side. We project will probably get to a debt to asset ratio in the low 60% range. I would say for both systems, electric and water, sewer. We have a plan to eventually glide that back down to our target metric of a 50% but asset ratio for each of our systems. But that's why we're here today. Any questions from committee members? >> Just on that last piece of information you said you have a goal to glide back down. What timeframe are we speaking? We're typically looking at a five-year window in terms of getting that debt to asset ratio back within target. >> Like anything else, councilmember, it's it's a balance. And so we don't want to put undue pressure on the front end while trying to meet a target very quickly. We'd rather kind of glide into it as we can in order to smooth the effects as much as possible. >> And it's fair to say that the this increasing capitalization is necessary for sustainability of the utility. Absolutely, sir. The investments in the system are required. >> It seems the areas in the queue. Thank you, MR. Very quick. Obviously this is happening because we're investing in infrastructure needs right now. What what other infrastructure projects you kinda projects see in the near future that we're probably not to address the same concerns maybe in the next 5 years. Are there any other projects that are of this magnitude that require this on the electric side? Not quite, although I will say, you know, we are projecting I sorry through the chair to COUNCILMAN Areas. >> On the electric system, you know, once we are done building the combined cycle on that plan is projected to come online in 2031. We won't necessarily have anything major down the pipeline in the immediate future. However, we have several purchase power agreements that will be expiring within that 10 to 12 year window. Given the significant lead time to either build new assets or price new purchase power agreements. I would imagine at the time the combined cycle is done being constructed in 2031 within a couple of years, the attention is going to turn to hey, what are we going to do to replace those ppa is that are expiring in 10 years. We're going to enter into new p pa's or we're going to seek to maybe build generation to make up for those pp a's. You've probably heard me say before council member, if I'm not building the buying it from somewhere. And so, you know, a ppa typically has 20 years. I new generation asset typically carries 30 to 50 years with it. So there's a lot to be said for, you know, quote, unquote, controlling your own destiny. But both come with a cost that we would need to weigh in order to determine what the recommendation would be, that the board that's on the electric side on the water sewer side. You know, you'll see us continue to endeavor our efforts to expand and enhance our water. Reclamation. Efforts and as well as our water purification the new water purification facility off Southside Boulevard in the deerwood area. That's a million gallons a day facility. We're looking at potentially expanding to other facilities, Arlington East. I think the other one is Cedar Bay. And senior Bank. Thank you. I got the thumbs up on that one eventually bring up our water purification abilities to around 14 to 15 million gallons per day, which could be used to recharge the aquifer here in Florida. So all those things councilmember very expensive to do. And are not done overnight. They're done over the course of the long term, ok? Well, thank you for that. >> Thank you, MR. Area since the pollution. Thank you. Chair and want to ask questions as well. All right. The ppa is that we have right now >> are they able to go up in price based on price of gas prices, oil prices, natural gas or even the even a 20 year agreement doesn't allow for increases to go up as the years go on based on outside factors. Typically with ppa through the chair to COUNCILMAN Palou. So typically with pea ph, you're going to lock in a significant portion of the contract costs for that period of time, which is what makes them so attractive. >> Some of them. Could have provisions in them which allow for escalators on a on a on a basis that occurs outside of that agreement. That's that's the issue. When you're weighing ppa is against, let's say a self-build option. You know, same issues that exists with cost increases on a ppa also exist with cost increases on a self-build option is welcome. The chair. Do any of ours currently have the ability for an escalator? >> I don't know the answer to that right now, but I can get it to you, Sir. Alright, would appreciate it. Thanks. Thank you. As opposed to the bill has been moved. Its been second any further discussion. Open your balance. Iv, a 0 nays action. You've approved 2026, 0, 6, 34. Continuing with gender item. Number 3, 2026, 0, 6, 44 >> has been deferred item number for 2026, 0, 6, 6, 2, has been deferred and item 2026, 0, 7, 0, 2, is on second 704, is on second 709, is on second item. 8, 2026, 0, 7, 20 is on second. Do we have any public comment? Cards? MR. Carnell Oliver, you have 2 minutes, 30 seconds. >> Oh, yes. My name is Khan. All the addresses on yesterday and neighborhoods. This conversation came up with 0, 7, 0, 9 talking about standing committees and core Now remember that debate when it came up when Michael born bowling brought that legislation forward? And I don't have a problem with more discipline. Their practices, especially when discipline their practices are not coming down on the public. The disciplinary practices reflecting back on you. And the problem is that discounts doesn't show for Wert. Your job. That's one of the biggest issues Congress is having right now. Executive branch is doing more work, then let's they'd bought. That is the problem with discounts. I don't catch much for the mayor. I don't get much flow administration. But I also want a plaque displayed their practices upon this Con Council. Because simple fact is that you're the biggest hit a there's a separation of power. And a lot of involved politics on nuts and bolts. And, you know, we're not say something. My expectations that you follow through you do your job. You listen to the people. Not what we say. But eu at in action. Because everything is built within the call of the law. Not not political pitchers. Not political. Talking points. It's a year action because you see my actions. No-nonsense, but I'll get a pa. After these meetings. You going back is mount. You key key key, but you don't know how many lives, you know, ruined already. The politics in the city from local state, federal level, his passport. Don't know what it is. The work heart like most people you don't know nothing about stroh. Because you don't know. You come up. Show up. You do your job. There's a mess that has from 1000 feet up all the way down to the ground and you're not waking up in you not understand to your job. When I say job, you jump, you serve the people. Public servant. How clear and how simple is that when it comes down to the work of accountability? Thank you. MISS Oliver. Our next week is Misra. Sean. The checks. >> Good morning. I am rush onto Jackson and my addresses on file. I want to officially put on record that I am on break and I'm not working in any capacity with the city. I am a resident of Jacksonville, Florida. I wanted to come before you because I am suffering with j e a. My bill repeatedly has increased. There are many individuals across Jacksonville, Florida, who is posting on all Instagrams, all Facebook, all social media, the impact of what's happening to us. The individuals that live in Jacksonville, Florida, how that is impacting our daily life. Where I work. >> Is. I get paid pretty good. >> And for me to make the amount of money that I'm making it for me and 8 to 12 years that I've been in politics to stand before you. Shaking to say that what is happening with our bill in Jacksonville, Florida is affecting the U.S. And it is causing many of us to determine. Let's just say raw, Peter, to pay Paul. So I am asking on behalf of myself for Tionda Jackson and every citizen in Jacksonville, Florida, that is consistently. Feeling the pressure of our bills increasing. I that you please consider and do something. Thank you. Thank you, MR. Dixon. >> Who hadn't her? I think you chair. We've heard from our citizen right here talking about her experiences. I've also encountered a lot of e-mails most of you have. I've met with a lot of people out in the streets. A lot of business owners and if you think the bills are increasing for residences, commercial increases are even more astronomical through the roof. And so in a time where cost of goods are up overhead is up. We really need do something right by city. And so I would encourage you guys, all even spearhead this conversation with Judy to have a public notice meeting. But we really need to have an expectation as to why this guy continue to increase our bills. We already know that they have to pay obligations from the past, but we need to have a plan of like the next 5 years, 10 years so that people could understand what's going on with ga. Why are we increasing the bills? They see the articles in the news of of, you know, executives getting paid hundreds of thousands close to a million dollars yet the everyday person is having to have to increase as per year. Last year, one increases year previous years was also increasing. Every is an increased. When has there not been an I I think jada's goodbye or community. They continue to invest as we saw today and infrastructure. But it comes to time where we also need to make sure that we're looking out for the people that live in Jax. Also, I'll I'll have a conversation with to see if we can have a notice meeting because this conversation just started is not the end of it. See more of it. And I'm also like I said, looking out for the small business owners as one this conversation. Thank you. Service Opelousas. And a chair given that we are to you don't see why we want to do a workshop out of this. The body that we have now that's legally available to us. We already have an agenda that's relatively light. We could kind of be that of the spear when it comes to anything involving j. >> To to that end, everyone should be aware. >> Our >> our rates are some of the lowest in the state. We have a municipally owns. Utility, which is a major value. It's a huge asset to the city and to that end, the reason why we are in the situation we're in because of Pryor boards and prior CEOs who specifically kept rates low so they cannot invest so they can claim that they were in a death spiral so that they couldn't like we consistently see in the city. Over the past 20 years, the city has done everything on the cheap. And so now it's up to leaders like us that have to find a look at our constituents in the eyes and look at what we want to be as a city and say, sorry, we it the garbage is a great example of that, right? Even now with amendment I'm not gonna go down that road. But the point being is. If you want short city, if you want your residents to be successful. You need to make sure you're properly investing. Sochi is doing what it needs to do now to right the ship. And while that's this is a miserable time to do it in this economy. We all know that I can go all day about why dc is not helping very much. But but these are issues that could be sought not just by the city of Jacksonville frankly jta does have re users in Saint Johns County, Nassau County and its probably going to grow as the years go on. So even then like our our board manages electricity in other parts of the state outside of Jacksonville, Duval County point being is that there's a lot to do. And then CHAIRMAN Encourage you to kind of move in that direction the time. >> Thank you is to lose soon and thank you for contacts. You are correct. This is Transportation Energy Utilities Committee. And this is the scope. The scope of this committee is to. Have that kind of conversation. So Arias, perhaps we can find a way to to achieve that. Holder. You have the floor. >> Thank you to the chair. Similarly have heard the same things about. The rate increases, experienced it myself. Single mom, 2 kids having to decide how pay this huge electricity bill amongst other things. I had the opportunity to meet it on last week and gave me a beautiful presentation summit to now and talk through with me why the rates are increasing where the dollars are going. And I was helpful for me as a council member race to them as a everyday resident Jacksonville. They relief right or they need to at least be able to understand why this is happening. So appreciate either the notice meeting or the opportunity. A workshop, I will say. And I guess this question is to COUNCILMAN Palou. So if we do workshop, this within this committee is how is that an opportunity for the public to get a deeper understanding? It is 09:00am on a weekday I would support having either a workshop for us here and maybe another noticed a meeting where it is open to the public at a different time of day. So we can have people come in here. Some of the factors contributing to their race and be able to ask him questions. But I don't think 09:00am on a Tuesday is going satisfy that. >> Thanks for the question will get with legislative services and general counsel and see how we can coordinate something. To make it councilmember So thanks to the contacts on. On the rates where we stand throughout the state. The context of the big picture. Clearly it's the affordable affordability issue that we're all facing when you go to the grocery store and pound of ground beef is now $20. It's everywhere. When you pull up at the gas station and and regular was $3 and something sense. And now with $4 and some we're all feeling the issue. It's hitting our we'll find a way to have a conversation and see what the best approach is. Is there anything else to come before the committee? Our next meeting is going to be OCTOBER. The 6th in on that day, we will have a presentation from the aviation Authority regarding emergency preparedness. It's good information for the committee members to see. Can I get a

Well, and Michael Boylan district 6, the calendar at large group, 3 our City Council district. One. Good afternoon, Jimmy Plusa District 7 just visiting. >> All right. Good afternoon, everyone. So we do have we have 62 items on the agenda. So we have a lot to get through ahead of budget night next week. We are going to start off with a presentation in just a minute by the Jacksonville Housing Authority. One thing I want to give an update on, I mentioned some other committees. But for about a year now, I've been working a group in town. I think everyone knows my first career was as a submarine officer in the only warship ever named after Jacksonville is a recently decommissioned sub. The uss Jacksonville. We've got permission from the Navy to receive its sales superstructure on Thursday. They loaded up and it's been on the road from Seattle the past couple of days. It is arriving here in Jacksonville sometime between 11 and one tomorrow the thinking teary Marine Shipyard, which is the ship you're just north of the stadium. And so we are going to have a number of folks there kind of like an arrival ceremony now that we will have the sale of the only warship ever named after Jacksonville. So this is something I was involved in. Not so much council related just being a proud submarine that are working with a number of other veterans groups here in town also. So you're on Vine. If you want to do that again, no exact time. But sometime between 11 and one, they're in Tennessee going at 55 miles per hour because that's all they're allowed to go to 4 flat beds and quite a hundreds of tons of metal that is coming here with that. The housing authority are y'all ready to go? Do you mind if I approached sure. Yeah. You can use the other screen there. >> All right. Thank you for having the Jacksonville Housing Authority and thank you, chair and then entire finance committee. I'm sure Ron Corbett, Waller of the ceo for the Jacksonville Housing Authority in our address is actually on file 2 today. I'm here just to give you an overview, highlight in regards to what we've done based upon the one-year cycle. We recently redesigned our entire logo. Just if I I we had a lot of comments. But overall, it's important understand our mission and vision for the agency. And so we have a new entire mission. Our mission is to build and preserve affordable, sustainable housing, manage public resources with accountability, which is key and critical and champion pathways a long-term independence for every resident in which we serve. And so in a nutshell were truly dedicated to the residents that we serve here in the city of Jacksonville, Duval County. We will continue to be fission productive and it sure that we preserve and expand housing that's affordable for all. When we compare sales of the public housing authorities, it's a total of 3300 public housing authorities in the U.S. And so our vision is quite unique. Our vision here at the Jacksonville Housing Authority Jacksonville and housing excellence by maximizing public and private resources, innovative policies that will elevate the standard of living for all. So you got to see more of that throughout this presentation. We've also developed for a new core values which core values did not necessarily exist historically at the agency, valued number one is service first. Core value. Number 2, this transparency. Valued number. Three's efficiency and our final court values collaboration. And that's why we're here today to present in front of you because we do recognize the collaboration with City Council representatives from various committees, key stakeholders within the community. It's really advantageous for agency to be the forge forward and provide an expanding housing that's affordable for all. Who do we serve? We always get this question regards to who do we serve for the Jacksonville Housing Authority. And so during his presentation, I just want to speak with you about public housing for example. When you think of those that we serve our average of household. As an income annually that consist of about $15,000. In addition to that, the average occupancy rate, they reside in public housing for about 5 0.5 years. The average person within public housing consist of at least a person. All right. And so we're finding within our portfolio. We have a heavier concentration end of it is that our seniors and those that also have disabilities as well. Within our traditional public housing for we actually have individuals. I would say the number of Occupy unit approximately 2300 occupy units and that's pretty big because when you think of the Jacksonville Housing Authority were actually considered the 3rd largest public housing authority in the state of Florida. Number one is Miami. And number 2 is Tampa. And number 3 is Jacksonville. And again, we're going to be trending forward as a result of the efficiency to be number one. Our occupancy rate now is about 95% with our traditional public housing for Folio. Housing choice voucher, which is one of the largest segments within Jacksonville Housing Authority. We have occupancy rate of about 98%. We have a portfolio that consists over 8300 occupants or I should say acc units. The average individual that resides within the hcb program can says the family. So you find 2 and a half of more individuals. The average stay is about 6.7 years. And then the average income of the head of households about 15,000 as well. And so as you can see, housing that's affordable is really critical for us. Our economic impact. I think it's important. We start talking more about how the Jacksonville House and it be really contributes overall here in the city of Jacksonville, Duval County. Our largest program, which is highlighted in red, which is actually it. So have the Santee screen. Is there a tv program? That program a counselor, 79% of our portfolio, meaning that the Jacksonville housing along for Section 8 funds literally puts 103 million dollars into the local economy. For about years. Our public housing portfolio consists of 11%. Our central office causes about 4%. But again, the hcb program is the very largest program. We're going to see to see upper trends as it relates to Section 8 funding. This is a breakdown in regards to the details of that 103 million dollars, various programs and what you can actually see here is that there's going to be more of a critical need for. The foster youth to independence program. So that's a new program. What's been existing for a while, you say, and this is for individuals that are ages 18 to 24 that in the process of aging out of the foster care system, believe it or not, just 16, it's actually identified to their case managers, the Department of Children and Family Services. If they're likely to go homeless by time, they reach the age of 18 and that's a lower amount. This actually dedicated to that. But out of dc we have the administration has really advocating pushing to have more funding opportunities for the fall stirring fauci's the independence program, which is different from the Family Unification Program. The family unification programs. Also another subset and our section a program. And that's what we're trying to base of the unified parents back with their children that they've lost in the process. And sometimes grandparents also equally. They play a role in this, too, as well. And so you're going to see more of an increase. We're looking to really increase home ownership opportunities and funding right? So that's one of the biggest push is that you got to really see from the Jacksonville Housing Authority. So we're going to always continue come forward and really ask some more of your support. So when we talk more about what is it that we do locally within the community are impact? We've had several renovations to occur. Hood had actually allocated in one fiscal year about 6 million dollars for capital funds. And so I worry it at the Housing Authority says were funded by the U.S. Department of Housing. Urban Development is that we can't afford to lose any dollars. So you got to see more information as it relates to capital improvements from Roof replacement sandwich. You can see within a fiscal year we spent about up $583,000 or roofing, but because we do a lot of more development activities, too, as well in rehab activities. We've also placed within the local economy about 2.3 million dollars. And so this is just an overall span. Again, when we talk about jj's and economic impact, that's about 7.8 million dollars that we put into the local economy as it relates to capital expenditures. Increasing opportunities, the policy. So this is a new initiative. So historically to Jacksonville, Housing Authority did not have a homeless person's policy. So in this last is previous fiscal year, we implemented a new policy that allows for the following one in a tiered approach for homelessness. So if indeed you're homeless and you reside within Jackson, a deal or Duval County, you have a preference to be number one at the top of that waitlist. And that will be actually cross-functional through the continued care. So we will cross reference. And if you're on both lists, then you'll be placed at the top of a wait list. So that's important because one of the things that we're actually finding is that not having a preference in place really didn't take care of those that reside here locally in Jacksonville and Duvall. But now we have a preference. To number 2. We actually now have and opportunity for those that are in surrounding counties within Florida. So that's important as well to number 3 is all the locations. So we look at a poor tee and you're from let's just say, South Carolina, Georgia, you will fall into that category and we're going to continue to still have those other tier categories that will always remain in place for our veterans is always key and critical for those that are elderly. Those at a des able working families and then violence Against Women's Act. And so these are just opportunities that necessarily were not in place. Historically for the new homeless preference. So we're really excited about that. Expanding affordable housing opportunities you MAY have seen recently in media there were really working towards Franklin Arms, Redevelopment. Franklin Arms is located 8, 8, 8, Franklin Street on the East side. The structure right now was built in the 1970's, the structure that currently exist in which you can see in this photograph consist of about 98 units anywhere from studio to one bedroom apartments. This is going to be the new Franklin arms. And so right now they're actively working through environmental to get towards demolition. Our goal is to bring back new development and it's going to consist of individuals, the target population be for those that are ages 55 and older, which would be the new seniors. And so this innovative for Jacksonville and also the Jacksonville Housing Authority. When we think about affordability, it's going to be safe, modern place for seniors. In addition to that, we're going to have anywhere from from excuse me up to approximately 130 units. And that's going to consist of. 110 one-bedroom units and a total of 20 2 bedroom units. The area median income will be based upon 30 to 70% of mind. So we're really excited about this opportunity for the east side, too. The total development cost car causes about 30 Million. Collectively for demo demolishing this new construction bringing back the best products to static Lee. And so this is not going to be wood frame. This is going to be concrete for this particular development. We anticipate about 50 million dollars in total development over. Can keep going show you sure. I'm so sorry about the aisle rep. I'm really excited about this. All right. Okay. >> So Franklin, ours, this is such a great opportunity. We're looking at tax rate. So we're going to be a 4% bond for this. One of the things about our development going forward as we rebrand, you're going to see a difference in regards its static Leo next here and also the interior. And so when you walk past Franklin arms, if you're driving past Franklin arms, you know, more modern type Interior will be in line with what you would see in the market rate market right. And so these are just examples on the next page. You can anticipate a fitness center say you should have a an area in which you can work out and you should have a movie theater, a sunroom green space, a business center because we're gonna have computer labs and resources and educational trainings and then also a seating area for community. And so when we do the unit breakdown that just a little bit more information whole just going to be a total of 130 units approximately. This will be the breakdown based upon the 30% up to 70% of the area's median income. Again, 130 units. And so 100% of this and we're really excited will be affordable on affordable option for individuals. I do want to thank you personally for your support as it relates to Daisy home. So you had awarded the agency jaxa House and 31 million dollars in the rap funds. We didn't use those funds. We built a total 5 single-family homes. This is a quick video. I'm going to show you. And then we'll probably just make the video little bit shorter. So I'll go ahead and let you play the video This is what happens when work together. We build all within a total of 98 days and they're totally sustainable long-term. And this is one of the the clients that actually resides within the home right now. Tom play the video. Well, that's okay. All right. Allison is video out. So you can basically take a look at that. A problem. We're also doing capital improvement. So this is an example one of our existing senior sites located Brentwood. We've done extensive work and the interiors of Brentwood. And so this is way more modern. What you got to see and a lot of our existing locations. This is the after picture. And this right here is before what it basically look like. Again, this is the after and these are after picture. So modern aesthetic Lee pleasing in residents truly want to live there. Partnerships that we continue to ramp up more partnerships. We did a huge partnership with see Kohl's for a huge back to school drive. We do ongoing landlord symposiums. And when you're thinking about learning about the housing choice voucher program, we're going to have a new upcoming symposium in OCTOBER. We have food drives to was. Well, we have a lot of educational resources, tj individuals about financial literacy because we have program is called the family self-sufficiency program not only takes an individual that enters to public housing of the housing choice voucher program, but really aims towards helping residents. Our clients that we serve a cheap upward mobility and upper mobility can be achieved through those that are seeking the public me a diploma and or a college degree and opportunity for job placement job training. And then also we have a component for our family self-sufficiency program that helps individuals towards home ownership. And so we're really excited about these great events. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at info at g 8 x dot org. I always do You're gonna notice. We want to follow on Facebook. Instagram are linked and these are a qr codes here. And by the way, we're going to be relaunching our entire website. The 1st quarter of 2027. So we're really excited about the Jacksonville Housing Authority. We understand it's a new day and were most definitely here to continue provide housing that's affordable, sustainable and help those clients achieve upper mobility. So thank you. Any questions for real they score, but I have counselor Boyle in the queue and that I have a question as well, You're recognized, sir. >> Thank Chair to his car, but create the presentation as most my colleagues know. >> Had a ringside seat to the transformation you're making over there saying as the council liaison. One question real quick with respect to the planet requirement that we that's in works. Can you speak to that? Obviously? And I think it's a hud requirement that now we are looking to embrace. Can you spot speak to that recently? Absolutely. >> So public comments, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development have public comment cycles dot MAY one, 2026 and it wasn't guards to 2 components for public housing. Authorities point number one in Pha could adopt was was based upon time limits which gave individuals that reside within public housing, traditional public housing in our housing choice voucher program in any of those programs, acts of 2 years to reside within housing. That's an option which the housing authority could adopt. And this is really out to every public house and authority in the U.S. But many of the house and authorities already have key limits that are key work requirements in place. Component number 2 was work requirements, meaning Hood had suggested to public housing authorities that individuals that are within these programs that are federally funded should have to work 40 hours per week. And so with the public Housing Authority for jj, we elected to do within our plan, which is in the draft. It has not been effectively implemented as a bait into Hood gives us a final rule is that we elected for work requirements at 30 hours per week based upon the local economy here, right? And so we're proposing if you're in a public housing program, if you're in a housing choice voucher program that you would have to work with the exception of the following. This is a line to Hood ruse this. Well, if you're a veteran, you excluded from that. If you are 62 and older you excluded from that. If you an individual that have a certified disability, right? You're excluded from that. If you happen to be an individual that is enrolled in full-time University college, you are excluded from that. In addition to that, if you are a caretaker for one with a disability or severe critical need. You are excluded for that. However, we do recognize within our programs, Jacksonville housing authorities that we do have seniors at the work. We do have veterans that work. We do have individuals, Dylan, disabilities at work and so we're not saying you don't have to work for those that are excluded from that. But there there's still a likelihood that he will probably still work, you know, but that's an exception. So just want to make clear. We did put these policies within both our administrative plan and then also are our plan, which is our a cop for the public housing section of it. He was. Well, it is not fully implement it into Hood gives it final rule. But we are informing you and I just want to make the point that able bodied people who are in time program should find. >> No appointment needed make every effort to do so. And they're going to be some effort and some pushback. I suspect to many of your clients right now who are going to balk at this prospect of this? I'm sure some education, absolute and patients are going to be required to make it work. >> Absolutely. And we're working on that right now. And again, I'll continue advocate for a family self-sufficiency program. We have partnership with Careersource too, as well to get individuals trained Kerr opportunities. Our team is working around the clock and we have upcoming meetings with other local organizations to. >> I MARCH air through this presentation get a sense of they're getting their act together of an issue to great job. Thank appreciate that. Absolutely DR. Johnson, you're recognized thank you, MR. Chair and score. But after the chair, thank you for your work. And we talk often and the great work that you're doing is is certainly and we can see I know I did. And what I learned in the presentation here. >> I didn't realize in those other ancillary places that you have the decor and people just because they're living in public housing should not have to have substandard. Absolutely weighs. In fact, I don't mean to put you on the spot, but I was sitting here and doctors say one was like, I want to be there like he literally said that. That's the kind of of energy that we want from our public housing right now. I think it's a beautiful thing. Let me ask you this. I want to talk about collaboration because that's something that so big to me. Where are you with the other agencies that are here that are that ability housing and others that are doing this kind of thing there any besides sprinkling arms, are there imminent plans to do anymore specific public housing that can be built. Is that something that's in your purview? >> So to keep our question, what I'll do is I'll answer the second part of partnerships, secondary in the first one regards to what we're doing in regards to expansion and preservation of affordable housing. Right. But expansion first. And so yes, Franklin arms is a great initiative. Really excited about that. But with an opera we do have other assets. So, for example, with then the historic durkeeville communities, an example, we have many vacant lots right. And so we're going to be working towards is a plan to actually mobilize to develop those of a colossal have more infield development and provide opportunities for home ownership. That's key and critical because again, yes, it's important for individuals to be able to rent to have a place that they can call home. But it's also equally important. It we really push for home ownership here, especially within city of Jacksonville and Duvall, too. So that's one initiative. We also all other a lot, I should say assets to well and which we're going to be working to mobilize with our new strategic plan is a 5 year strategic plan. It will be rolling out. We have draft format right now that will go to our board of commissioners. And this is going to be also line with the city of Jacksonville's consolidated plan as well. And so there's many opportunities we would love to do. And I will say the entity's name even bigger partnership in which means we were actually in talks with another government entity about assets in which they own. We do believe that if jj was at the forefront at the table of that, we can most definitely bring more affordable units and do more. Mixed income developments within a city of Jacksonville that would also help from a from a tax base to as well. But yet still preserving affordable affordability for those that are in need. And so we have very pockets of different initiatives throughout the city of Jackson. This was not they will only be in district 7. Police help >> Up. >> that they are there, opportunities at other locations, too, as well. But we're really working on a strategic plan right now. Again, it's in a draft format. Homeownership is at the at the forefront. The second part of the question in regards to partnership. So yes, for ability housing for other organizations to Goodwill industries. I think that's that's key and critical because when we think about right now, let's go in with our going with the current administration and looking at the potential work requirements right now. We have to be heavily focused work work. We have to, you know, educate individuals, importance of work, working
