I'd like to recognize our council PRESIDENT Missing Nick Howland for remarks reference or committee and function. >> Thank you, MR. Chair I >> have just been attending every standing committee just to welcome everybody back for the new Council Year. Hope everyone had the opportunity to get some rest and prepare for the council year ahead. We all sat through a a terrific meeting yesterday. I'm getting a copy of the proposed budget. I'm sure everybody has started to pour into it already. Not just said and in team gosh, what the council otters got their work cut out for them. That the eu light agenda today, but by no means should be that way. I'll have a conversation maybe well. Conversation with the rules, chairs the ca and maybe see if we can't figure out how to ensure that more legislation gets through you because it's a pretty broad committee would transfer Tate. >> Transportation, energy and utilities and anything in particular related to jta and jta often comes to this committee. So I think it will probably be a fairly busy year. That said it's a strong seller team with a great Sharon vice chair really appreciate everyone serving on this committee. Look forward to a great council. Your thank you. >> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT like to Councilmember Matt Carlucci. Council PRESIDENT For being late. As of JULY one Summa new rules regarding attendance and excuse rules were when into effect. All have >> Karla's site. The changes. >> Good morning through the chair to the committee says, you know, JULY one there's an effective change to the council rules which provides that no more than one council member MAY be excused from a regular meeting of the Standing Committee with the exception that additional absences can be authorized for medical reasons. Either you or a relative. There's also exception for military service approval need to be in writing to the chair and he can go over how he wants to receive that. Also of note, Quorum is now 5 for Standing committee. So keep that in mind when you need step out for personal reasons that the Standing committee, its 5 members and I'll take any other questions you might have. >> Thank you, Michelle. Any questions for Michelle? >> Thank you, MR. Chair people might recall, believe Carlo. That was something that we approved as a body in MARCH or APRIL. I think 2026. 0, 1, 3, 6, That was. Legislation proposed by council member boil and we discussed it went to committee. We actually discuss it the council floor in the past. It. So that's not Nick Allen as council PRESIDENT's new rules. That's the rules that we establish upon ourselves and amended. Thanks. Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT, I'd like to welcome Councilmember Ju'coby Pittman. >> In reference to how this chair will handle >> Excuses. Usually some things are on avoidable. So at the last pretty lenient them acceptable. >> But if possible, a day head of committee meeting with the fair response that I think early departures can be same day of and later, arrival day of as well. So as I was sharing earlier, I think that new rules are >> most effective with the city Council as a whole and hopefully it doesn't have to wait up. It doesn't have to be felt within committee of everyone with just to do what they're supposed to So thank you all for being here this morning. If you turn your agenda, there >> I'm sorry. >> I'm sorry. Park Maria did not see it. Go ahead. >> All right. Thank you. And good morning again everyone. And I know it goes without saying, but I'm going to say it anyway because I know. Seeing something in hearing something will help to remember it so previously. And I'm going to say, at least for the past for years, committees have started in the morning at 9.30 So now it's 9 o'clock. So just a reminder to everyone about it being 9 o'clock, fact that like the man a cloud, but unlike the men 30, so if made, it helps me to get here. So just a reminder to everyone, 9 o'clock. That's Golding anyone. I'm just using teacher hat right now just to hear it and to see it helps right. Thank you. Chair. Councilmember Carlucci. >> Giants again for getting here late I don't want to be late. This important committee. I I got in right in time to hear council PRESIDENT Mention that. He would try to drink more legislation to this committee. And I really appreciate that because with everything we've heard about in the budget. With infrastructure, utilities, transportation and so forth. Utilities would I opinion the septic tank replacements that are generally guided by jta with the partnership of the Road resurfacing drainage repairs. And so I am in hopes This committee can rise in its importance to this council. I just have to say. For somebody. Who's served long time of this council. Already body on the council. New people with new ideas, fresh ideas to be appointed to committee that comes in and there's one bill second reading. I just I just think that's a waste of talent. I think it's wasted new ideas. I think it's a waste experience. And I'm really please happy with direction that you're taking this council so far. And I appreciate your since Tiffany to that in your understanding of that, sir? And so again, I mentioned this to you before, but I wish you well and and want to help. You have a good year. This year and because I see that flowing from your end towards us. And I want to extend that to you. I still speak my mind because I don't leave my First Amendment rights at the door nor do you. But I see a real effort try To try to use this council as a whole for the betterment of the city of Jacksonville. So let's see, we can thicken up this agenda a little bit so we can be a part of what's happening in this city Council, which means we will have a role in what happening in the great city of Jacksonville. Thank you. >> Thank you, MR. Carlucci for your in that vein and in our agenda discussion. >> I'm looking forward to through rest of the year where we can have not just a beefy agenda, but the presentations from those entities that are like the septic replacement program, things of that nature, gentle transportation authority, the Jack's Electric Authority. There are a number of things that are taking place within not just the city but its independent authorities that this committee needs to be aware of. And so I'm looking forward to. Presentations from those entities. And I'm also open to suggestions from committee members as to what they think would be great information opportunities to educate us so we can do our jobs more effectively. That said there's one item on the agenda. It's on second. It's billed Twenty-twenty 6, 0, 5, 40, no action required. Invited MISTER Paul Harden to come and give us brief overview on legislation that will be coming up at City Council on Tuesday night. MISTER Hardin, you have 3 minutes if you need more. Let me know.
