Ordinance No. 20-26-182 (Final Reading)

Recommended

Staff (Finance Director Brittany Percell) recommended adoption on second reading.

Debated

The amendment touches three funds: the General Fund recognizes $44,575 in new COJ Interlocal Agreement revenue and appropriates $89,150 for professional services related to a forensic fiscal analysis shared equally with Jacksonville; the CDBG Fund adds $196,751 for parking improvements at Marsh Oaks Community Center; and a new Landscaping and Environmental Enhancement Special Revenue Fund is established, seeded with $162,595 from Southcoast Capital Partnership — the developer behind 299 Atlantic Blvd. — as a payment in lieu of on-site landscaping under the development agreement passed last meeting. The new environmental fund is significant: it creates a restricted pot for off-site green enhancements tied to Town Center development, a precedent worth watching.
