From YouTube: City Council Briefing (04/13/2020)
Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Tonight
this
is
the
city's
first
virtual
briefing
that
is
being
conducted
during
the
kovat
19
pandemic
national
emergency,
not
just
local.
We
have
three
topics
that
we
would
like
to
discuss
with
Council
tonight.
Hopefully,
this
council
briefing
will
not
take
longer
than
about
an
hour.
This
is
really
really
exploratory
for
this
technology
to
prep
us
for
ultimately
future
use
at
a
council
meeting.
Hopefully
next
Monday
on
the
20th,
we
would
be
conducting
a
full
meeting
using
this
format.
So
this
is
our
first
foray
into
using
the
zoom
platform.
A
A
The
second
is
the
six-month
update
by
the
city
attorney,
as
was
included
for
and
required
by
his
contract,
and
the
third
item
was
to
have
a
conversation
with
the
council
about
some
of
the
recommendations
that
were
looking
at
from
a
staff
perspective
in
order
to
start
providing
some
financial
relief
to
certain
elements
of
the
community.
So
the
first
topic
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
again
is
the
police
statistics.
A
Many
of
you
may
remember
that,
back
at
the
end
of
January,
there
was
the
accumulation
of
the
police
statistics
for
fiscal
year
2019,
notably
within
there,
was
notable
increases
in
calls
for
service
of
multiple
types
across
the
board
within
the
police
department.
At
that
point,
in
time,
I
asked
chief
Smith
to
do
an
analysis.
Do
a
deeper
dive
on
the
data
to
come
to
some
determinations
of
what
was
driving
that
increase
in
calls
for
service
that
they
were
seeing
within
the
police
department.
A
Approximately
six
weeks
is
six
weeks
or
so
ago,
council
received
a
memo
put
together
by
the
police
chief
and
that
multi-page
document
took
a
more
in-depth
look
and
analysis
of
the
data
and
came
up
with
what
the
chief
believed
were
three
representative
findings
of
review
of
that
data.
What
I'd
like
to
do
now
is
turn
it
over
to
chief
Smith
if
he
unmutes
himself,
and
he
can
walk
you
through
what
he
found
as
he
looked
at
the
data
and
then
he'll
see,
if
you
have
any
questions
on
it,.
B
Welcome
council:
this
is
new
for
me,
too
I
assume
you'll.
Let
me
know
if
my
volumes
messed
up
or
something
goes
wrong.
It
seems
like
this
project
started
three
years
ago,
but
it
was
actually
it's
only
been
a
month
a
month
and
a
half
the
way
time
has
been
dragging
on
for
the
past
month.
I'm
sure
y'all
feel
it
too
half
the
time.
I
don't
even
know
what
day
it
is
anymore.
The
three
findings,
the
increases
we
found
in
calls
for
service
and
police
responses.
B
Two
separate
categories
and
I
can
explain
those
if
you
wish
there.
The
good
news
is
it's
all
self-initiated
activity,
mostly
there
is
a
little
increase
in
calls
physical
phone
calls
we
get
for
dispatched,
but
most
of
it
is
vehicle,
stops,
property
checks,
self-initiative,
self-initiated
activity,
we
check
out
on
homeless,
people,
disturbances,
suspicious
persons,
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
that's
the
good
news
self
initiated
accounts
for
the
rise
in
the
calls.
The
second
finding
is,
my
personal
belief
is
to
self-initiated
activity
by
the
officers
is
helping
us
and
on
a
lot
of
different
fronts.
B
My
opinion
is
because
there's
policemen
out
there
stopping
a
lot
of
cars
going
out
on
a
lot
suspicious
persons
being
present
and
property
checks
or
suppressing
possible
criminal
activity
and
and
I
can
only
point
you
because
I
can't
measure
crime
that
we
Pro
that
we
stop.
You
can't
measure
something
like
that.
All
I
can
tell
you
is,
for
instance,
just
quick,
stat
y'all,
see
where
we
seized
almost
40
guns
on
first
Street
between
March
and
October
of
last
year.
B
We'll,
never
know
no
I
can't
measure
a
crime
didn't
occur,
but
really
it
makes
sense
to
me
because
we
have
a
lower
level
of
violent
crimes
and
only
one
officer-involved
shooting
in
the
last
three
years,
when
you
couple
that
with
the
fact
that,
with
the
number
of
visitors
that
come
this
community
in
any
given
year,
is
in
the
millions
I,
don't
think
that
is
I
in
dispute
or
the
playground
for
Duval
County.
We
have
numerous
alcohol
establishments
and
active
nightlife
and
Duval
County.
B
Once
again,
as
you've
been
seeing
in
the
news
is
near
the
top
in
the
state
of
Florida
for
per
capita
homicide,
but
I
think
our
high
level
lack
of
activity
is
stopping
people
from
coming
out
here
or
prevent
any
a
crime
before
it
happens,
and
once
again,
I
can't
measure
that
I
can
only
look
to
the
news,
and
my
chops
with
the
sheriff
is
people
that
work
for
him.
It's
the
people
at
the
State
Attorney's.
They
had
a
hundred
and
thirty-four
ShotSpotter
activations,
not
more
than
ten
miles
from
here
in
March,
I've
done,
134
shots.
B
That's
a
hundred
and
thirty-four
activations
with
multiple
shots.
55
people
shot
in
March
and
the
homicide
rates
clinic
wears
dropping
everywhere
else
in
the
country
has
increased
by
17%
I
sent
out
a
news
you
can
use
yesterday
and
it
had
a
lot
of
what
Melissa
Nelson
talked
about.
The
problems
were
facing
in
this
county
and
I.
Think
a
lot
of
it
is
geographically.
B
You
can
only
come
across
three
or
four
bridges
and
that
allows
us
to
funnel
these
perpetrators
coming
into
our
city
and
to
start
certain
corridors
where
we
can
concentrate
make
people
stops,
make
suspicious
person
stops
and
prevent
this
violent
crime.
So
that's
the
third
part.
Third,
finding
I
really
feel
like
our
traffic
stops
are
helping
things
or
suppressing
the
crime.
It's
no
surprise
to
anybody
that
80%
in
this
memo,
I
thought
it
was
a
little
lower.
I
figured
it
would
be
higher
80%
of
the
people.
We
stop
her
from
Jacksonville.
B
Now,
if
we're
doing
a
lot
of
traffic
stops
all
those
people
from
Jacksonville
get
out
here,
probably
in
one
way,
mostly
and
that's
by
vehicle.
So
when
they're
out
cruising
first
read
or
write
now,
Beach
Boulevard
or
coming
in
the
city
of
3:00
or
5:00
o'clock
in
the
morning
to
do
auto,
burglaries
to
rape,
Rob
and
pillage
our
traffic
stops
or
omnipresence
I
think
is
really
suppressing
that
crime,
like
I,
said
so.
Those
are
my
three
major
findings.
B
But
if
you
look
through
the
memo,
there's
a
lot
of
interesting
statistics
in
there
I,
don't
think
anything's
going
to
really
surprise
you
40%
of
our
restaurant,
downtown
an
area
as
opposed
to
22%
of
our
calls
for
service,
so
we're,
for
instance,
arresting
a
lot
more
people
per
call
for
service
downtown
than
we
are
in
the
rest.
The
city
really
no
surprise.
So
we
have
a
well-trained
one,
motivated
very
active
Police
Department.
B
On
top
of
everything
else,
we
do
they're
really
out
there
giving
you
your
money's
worth
and
I
think
it
separates
us
from
a
lot
of
other
coastal
cities
that
have
a
big
influx
from
the
mainland,
because
they're
so
active
with
that
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
specific
questions
or
we
can
get
down
into
the
lower
levels
of
the
statistics.
If
you
wish.
C
B
A
A
Topic
2
is
the
City
Attorney's
6-month
update
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
city
attorney
Chris
ambrosia
Chris.
When
you
are
ready,
we
do
have
graphics
of
the
workstation
reconfiguration
for
Chris
right
and
at
least
broached.
So
when
you're
ready,
just
let
Jacob
know
and
he'll
put
those
graphics
up
sure.
D
I
hope
everyone
can
hear
me
I'm
on
my
City
iPhone.
Can
you
hear
me
Mike,
yeah,
yeah,
okay,
great,
so
the
just
so
you
know,
Jacob
did
a
practice
today
for
all
of
us.
It
worked
perfectly.
My
city
laptop
worked
perfectly.
Everything
was
golden
and
suddenly
nothing
worked
so,
but
just
so
you
know
Jacob,
it's
not
Jacob's
fault
at
all,
so
that
first
of
all,
Thank
You
counsel
for
keeping
me
as
your
city
attorney.
D
So
it's
just
a
it's
just
a
privilege
to
work
with
such
committed
people,
brilliant
people,
and
they
keep
me
on
my
toes
all
day
long
because
they
are
working
so
hard
that
I
want
to
keep
up
with
their
hard
work.
My
agreement
calls
for
an
update
in
the
first
six
months,
so
we
originally
had
planned
this
well
before
the
co
vid
crisis
hit,
but
there's
three
main
items
under
the
agreement.
D
The
first
one
is
that
City
Council
shall
meet
with
the
city
attorney
for
the
specific
purpose
of
setting
goals
for
the
city
and
for
the
city
attorney
and
initiating
periodic
work
programs.
So
when
I
first
assumed
the
position,
the
the
office
I
understood,
the
position
called
for
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
on
things
that
probably
just
weren't,
properly
addressed
or
fully
addressed
or
fully
handled
by
legal
counsel
to
the
to
the
city.
So
I
provided
you
earlier
a
few
weeks
ago.
D
Basically,
the
major
major
future
projects
that
I
was
I'm
aware
of
the
council,
wants
us
to
work
on
in
terms
of
Mike
and
I
and
then
also
other
major
projects
that
I've
identified
as
needing
to
be
handled
and
along
with
director
department.
Director
is
also
identifying
projects
that
they
need
me
to
work
on
for
them
or
work
with
them
on.
So
in
that
long
list
that
that
list
is
continuously
growing.
D
Those
were
the
major
projects
that
I'll
be
engaged
in
for
many
years
to
come
and
it'll
take
it'll,
take
quite
a
while
to
work
our
way
through
that
list,
but
but
that
that
is
the
major
projects
that
I
have
the
least
been
able
to
develop
at
this
stage,
and
it
includes
them.
The
major
council
initiatives
that
we're
aware
of
in
terms
of
the
Charter
Review
phase,
one
phase
two
phase
one
by
the
way
is
in
word
we're
already
working
on
it.
D
D
But
of
course,
we've
had
a
transition
in
the
magistrate
position,
for
example,
that
wasn't
foreseen
before
I
came
on
board
that
Matt
that
new
magistrate
team,
which
the
council
authorized
and
approved
and
I
appreciate
that
they,
of
course,
would
have
been
up
and
running
by
now
and
Cove
installed.
All
of
that
we
weren't
even
able
to
have
our
initial
conference
with
the
magistrates,
meaning
me,
the
magistrates,
our
code,
Department
and
our
code
enforcement
officers,
and
to
organize
and
prepare
ourselves
for
how
those
magistrate
hearings
are
to
operate.
D
So,
in
terms
of
other
specific
goals
that
the
council
may
currently
have,
I'm
just
relying
on
all
seven
of
you
to
share
with
me
any
new
or
additional
goals
that
I
may
not
be
aware
of
that
you'd,
like
for
the
legal
department
to
add
to
the
list.
I
know,
Mike
and
I
have
definitely
laid
out
the
goals
he
we
had.
A
timeline
of
events
and
initiatives
that
we
are
working
on
have
already
met
some
of
them,
for
example,
preparing
the
Code
of
Ethics.
That's
already
taken
care
of.
D
And
if
we
don't
want
to
talk
about
that,
I
can
move
on
to
item
two
and
item
three
and
then
you
will
come
back
around
and
let
you
all
speak
item
two
is
that
the
City
Attorney
shall
identify
the
resources,
ie
materials
equipment,
subscription
staffing
support
necessary
to
provide
the
services
expected
of
the
city,
attorney's
office
and
again
I.
Thank
you
all
and
Mike
and
Karen
for
immediately
providing
me
with
all
the
materials
the
equipment
and
the
subscriptions.
For
example,
legal
resource
subscriptions
that
I
need
that
I
live
on
every
day.
D
I
have
all
of
the
equipment.
I
need
some
of
it's
just
not
working
tonight,
but
I
have
everything
that
I
need,
and
fortunately,
Elise
Gross
is
the
new
legal
assistant.
She
just
started
in
March,
and
that
was
an
essential
again.
Chris
Wright
is
incredible,
but
she
has
a
lot
of
responsibilities
and
I
needed
a
solely
dedicated,
experienced
legal
assistant
and
Elise
is
is
fantastic,
so
we're
up
and
running
again.
D
We
co
vid,
has
kind
of
gotten
us
off
on
a
track
that
we
certainly
didn't
expect
for
the
legal
assistant
to
have
to
deal
with
so
we're
not
under
we're
not
operating
under
usual
or
typical
situation.
But
when
we
get
this
behind
us,
Elise
and
I
will
continue
on
and
everything
will
be
fine.
It's
working
out.
Just
fine
I
can't
identify
any
other
resources.
That
I
would
need
at
this
point,
the
the
honest
additional
situation
that
we
may
need
somewhere
down.
D
D
Sending
me
and
I
utilize
that
to
prioritize
within
the
department
and
then
among
all
the
departments.
Knowing
that
you
know,
GP
may
give
me
something
that
definitely
needs
immediate
attention
and
it
comes
to
the
top
of
the
stack,
perhaps
over
two
or
three
items
that
parks
and
recs
have
me
working
on
so
Mike's
legal
intake
form
has
worked
very
well
kovat.
D
It
was
the
the
department's
were
just
beginning
to
get
in
the
habit
of
utilizing
that
and
it's
critical
that
I
use
that,
because
I
have
so
much
incoming
work.
That
I
need
organization
for
the
incoming
projects
to
properly
handle
that.
But
the
department
heads
were
just
getting
in
the
habit
of
using
that
and
then
Cove.
D
This
all
into
a
different
train,
train
track,
so
one
again
Cove.
It
is
over
we'll
get
back
on
on
course
with
that
and
otherwise
I
we
certainly
between
Mike
and
I.
We
certainly
have
identified
the
processes
and
procedures
for
handling
the
work.
It
is
it's
just
the
workload,
that's
a
challenge
to
manage,
but
in
terms
of
procedures
and
processes,
we've
we've
got
a
handle
on
that
and
Elise
is
going
to
help
control
and
manage
that
greatly
she's
going
to
take
over
and
and
help
me
manage.
D
So
that's
going
to
help
me
work
on
projects,
they've
focused
on
the
projects,
coordinated
time
schedule
and
try
not
to
let
them
become
unmanageable.
So
there's
one
other
item
that
I
wanted
to
address.
It's
in
the
agreement
that
I've
learned
over
the
past
six
or
seven
months
that
it's
going
to
be
very
it's
very
difficult
for
the
attorney
to
comply
with,
which
is
it's
there's
so
much
work
that
I
that
I
do
and
before
kovat
I
was
working
evenings
and
weekends,
quite
frankly,
just
trying
to
keep
up
with
different
projects
and
the
incoming
work.
D
D
So
what
what
has
what
we've
done
is
advised
all
of
the
different
boards
or
departments
or
staff
to
just
come
in
for
me
if
they
must
need
me
if
they
meet
me,
and
they
must
have
me
available
at
one
of
their
meetings
with
the
planning
Commissioner
Board
of
Adjustment,
and
it
certainly
helped
helping
prepare
them
for
a
special
magistrate
or
representing
us
at
a
special
magistrate
hearing.
So
if
I
were
to
attend
the
Planning
Commission
meetings,
every
single
time
and
prepare
with
each
item,
that's
set
for
the
Planning
Commission
meeting
every
time.
D
They
need
me
for
any
one
of
those
so
that
that's
a
little
outside
of
the
section
eight
that
the
contract
calls
for
us
to
review
at
this
point.
But
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
so
that
the
council
was
aware,
but
I'm
more
than
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
to
talk
about
the
first
second
item,
which
was,
if
you
have
any
other
goals
and
periodic
work
programs
that
you'd
like
for
me
to
add
I'd,
be
glad
to
talk
about
that.
E
It's
a
thing
currently
kind
of
laid
out
that
you're
rather
busy
so
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
be
adding
more
goals
to
the
list.
We
have
some
hefty
goals.
Currently
there
I
think
what
you
start
accomplishing
them
and
knocking
some
soft
stuff
off
of
that
list.
Then
we
can
reassess
to
see
if
there
are
more
goals,
but
that's
just
me:
we
can't
give
you
more
hours
in
the
day.
Trust
me
any
food
is
the
way
to
do
that.
I
would
have
figured
it
out
by
now.
F
F
But
if
you're
going
to
prioritize
that
to
be
at
the
bottom
of
your
priority
list,
because
those
department,
heads
and
those
individuals
at
those
meetings
know
to
come
to
you
and
gather
the
information
that
they
should
need
for
that
hearing
in
order
to
adequately
prepare
themselves
and
then,
if
the
board
or
if
the
board
needs
to
be
advised,
then
I'm
confident
then
you'll
go
to
those
meetings.
If
the
board
needs
advice,
but
at
and
them
needed
advice,
the
department
heads
should
be
able
to
gather
the
necessary
information
from
from
you.
F
D
Right
I
appreciate
that
yep
I.
Remember
that
and
again,
thank
you
very
much
for
being
the
designated
councilmember
during
the
contract
negotiations,
and
you
made
it
so
easy
I
appreciate
it
you're,
absolutely
right.
That
was
one
of
the
topics
we
talked
about
and
and
every
the
way
that
you
just
explained.
It
is
exactly
how
it's
been
happening.
There
have
been
occasions
where
members
of
the
various
boards
have
contacted
me
with
questions
individually.
They
contacted
me
with
very
various
questions
they
had.
I
was
able
to
assist
them.
D
I
was
also
on
occasion
on
several
occasions,
called
in
to
the
actual
board
meeting
being
held
to
address
the
entire.
The
board
as
a
whole
I've
also
been
called
in
by
our
departments,
directors
or
staff
to
show
up
at
a
particular
meaning
to
you
know,
assist
them
or
to
provide
provide
legal
advice
up.
All
of
that
has
seemed
to
work
out.
Fine
I've
also
advised
the
boards
board
members
individually
on
particular
things
such
as
ethics
training
and
some
other
public
records.
Information
training,
so
I
feel
like
each
board.
D
E
You
at
with
making
sure
that
they
get
an
annual
training.
These
are
all
the
members
of
the
boards.
We
have
new
board
members
on
there,
but
just
making
sure
that,
like
together,
they
are
all
being
trained,
is
they
might
have
been
trained,
but
they
need
to
be
refreshed
on
a
lot
of
that.
That
was
the
impetus
for
making
a
city
attorney.
Be
it
those
meetings,
because
those
are
the
team
meetings
that
the
city
gets
sued
at
the
most,
because
the
level
of
training
could
have
been
ratcheted
up
some.
D
Yep
so
before
kovat
we
had
in
place,
we
were,
we
were
talking
about,
meaning
me
and
the
department
heads
that
that
assists
those
particular
boards,
and
we
had
begun
the
process
of
discussing
when
one
would
be
the
best
date
for
us
to
schedule.
A
training
seminar,
and
that
was
all
thrown
off.
So
I
need
to
get
back
on
that
and
reschedule
that
opportunity
and
I
would
rather
not
do
it
through
a
virtual
setting,
because
it
we
lose
the
opportunity
to
have
a
much
better
communication.
D
G
I
would
just
add
thank
you
Chris
for
clarifying
the
how
you're
addressing
the
the
support
for
the
boards,
because
that
was
something
that
was
important
to
me,
because
I
had
I
watched,
the
board
meetings
and
I
listened
to
what
the
board
members
are
saying,
and
there
have
been
comments
from
time
to
time.
This
was
prior
to
you
about
how
they
were
grateful,
that
we
did
have
somebody
that
could
advise
them
during
the
board
meetings,
because
sometimes
there
were
issues
that
would
come
up.
G
So
as
long
as
they're
able
to
reach
out
to
you
offline,
that's
great
I,
just
don't
want
you
know:
I,
don't
want
us
to
be
in
a
situation
where
the
board
members
don't
feel
supported
and
so
I
think
that's
great
and
I'm
glad
that
they're
comfortable
doing
that
and
I'm
glad
that
they're
doing
that
so
and
and
yeah
I
look
forward
to
when
you
can
do
the
training,
because
I
think
that's
another
piece.
That's
really
important
so
that
the
board
members
can
can
remain
comfortable,
doing
the
job
that
they're
doing
yeah.
D
And
one
thing
I
wanted
to
add
was
that
when
we
had
recently
I
guess
it
was
in
the
beginning
of
this
year
we
had
some
new
appointments
that
were
assigned
to
the
various
boards,
and
some
of
their
names
are
running
blanks
for
me
right
now,
but
we
did
have
individual
training
on
the
standard
laws
that
they
should
know
about.
Sunshine
Law,
the
public
records
law,
ethics
based
basic
ethics.
So
excuse
me
so
some
of
the
individual
new
appointees
did
receive
some
training
in
that
aspect.
D
But
what
the
training
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
providing
is
going
directly
to
the
procedures
and
the
code
and
the
laws
that
apply
to
that
body,
so
that
that
training
is
definitely
going
to
be
taking
place,
and
hopefully
it
makes
things.
It
clears
up
questions
that
they
have,
but
then,
while
we're
there,
the
training
they,
of
course,
can
ask
questions
during
that
time.
So
the
training
will
involve
Q&A,
open
Q&A
to
everybody.
G
The
only
other
thing
I'd
mention
is
that
when
I
got
the
list
of
things
that
you're
working
on
I
have
to
say,
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
how
we
did
this
with
a
part-time
city
attorney
I
mean.
Obviously
there
was
there's
a
lot
of
stuff,
but
that
you're
having
to
deal
with
so
I
mean
I
was
I
was
actually
rather
concerned
about
the
length
of
that
list,
because
I
that's
a
lot
of
that's
a
lot
of
things
that
you're
working
on.
D
Yeah
there
there
are
it
is.
It
is
a
reality
that
there
was
there
was
a
void
in
a
permanent
legal
presence
within
the
city,
and
it
reveals
itself
in
particular
projects
that
either
weren't
handled
or
weren't
fully
handled
and
then
also
in
each
department.
There
was
that
void
where
legal
counsel
was
it's
pretty
evident
that
it
wasn't
there,
but
we
are
correcting
everything
and
getting
it
all
on
track.
D
D
Thank
you
so
much
thank
you
and
I
work
with
a
great
staff.
It's
it's
incredible
by
the
way
on
the
nights
and
weekends
that
I
was
working
here,
I,
don't
want
you
to
thank
Mike
and
Karen
and
and
we're
always
saying
leave
you
need
to
go
home.
You
need
to
take
a
break.
You
need
to
go,
eat,
dinner
and
stop
you
know,
but
also
there
were
many.
There
have
been
many
many
times
that
I'm
here,
working
and
I
hear
noise
in
City,
Hall
and
I.
Look
around
and
Ashley's
working
and
Rosslyn
is
working.
D
H
Just
wanted
to
concur
with
my
colleagues
on
the
list
of
priorities.
We
need
to
start
checking
some
things
off
before
we
add
more
and
then
on
the
open
door
policy
that
you
have
I,
think
your
relationship
with
the
department
heads
and
with
the
individual
board
members
is
really
gonna
help
some.
That
friend,
and
you
know
proactive.
This
will
help
save
your
time
on
the
back
end.
H
So,
hopefully,
that'll
keep
you
out
of
a
lot
of
meetings
that
you
don't
don't
need
to
be
sitting
and
I,
certainly
wouldn't
support
sitting
in
meetings
that
you
don't
absolutely
have
to
be
in
and
I
trust
your
judgment
there,
and
just
through
all
of
the
of
the
Cova
19
stuff,
keeping
us
surprised
of
the
executive
orders
and
helping
us
translate.
Those
into
real
life
has
been
really
helpful.
So
I
appreciate
you
doing
that
work
and
keeping
us
surprised
of
it
as
well.
Thank.
C
Just
to
agree
with
everybody
else,
you
know
Chris
completely
trust
your
judgment,
particularly
when
it
comes
to
prioritizing
not
making
meetings.
I
mean
fully
support.
Whatever
you
decide
to
do,
you
know,
you've
just
hit
the
deck
place
running
since
you've
been
on
board
and
I.
Think
you've
done
that
just
a
tremendous
I
would
definitely
your
first
lunch
would
be
an
a-plus
with
me.
So
thanks
for
your
hard
work,
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
grow
the
staff
a
little
bit
to
help
support
you,
because
it's
obviously
warranted
and
really
I've
enjoyed
working
with
you
too.
C
D
Very
much
thank
you
mayor.
It's
been
a
privilege
and
honor
and
it
it's
a
tremendous
feeling.
You
know
coming
to
City
Hall
every
day
and
it's
hard
to
explain,
but
you
know,
there's
there's
always
discussion
of
you
know
you.
You
may
feel
the
stresses
of
work,
but
those
are
it's
a
there's,
a
labor
of
love.
So
I
guess
that's
what
it
is.
Thank
you.
G
The
only
thing
I'd
add
Chris
I
mean
I
I,
agree
everything
that
everyone
said
you've
done
a
great
job
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
accessibility,
because
I
know
that
you've
you've
been
very
accessible
when
I've
had
questions,
you
know,
you're,
obviously
you're,
obviously
working
really
hard,
and
we
certainly
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
And
I
will
be
glad
to
provide
any
other
updates.
If
you
have
any
questions
you
will
ever
want
to
email
me
individually,
I'd,
be
glad
to
answer
any
of
your
individual
questions
that
you
may
have
about
my
operations
or
any
activities
or
the
status
of
any
of
the
of
the
projects
at
anytime
or
call
me
individually.
Of
course,
any
time.
D
And
then
let
me
just
if
there's
no
more
questions
asked
then
the
item
that
Mike
mentioned
the
beginning
of
my
set
my
segment
here-
is
that,
of
course,
with
Elise.
As
my
legal
assistant
and
her
working
closely
with
Chris
right,
Karin
has
with
her
incredible
style
taste.
She
has
this
design
of
two
new
offices
for
the
ladies
to
have
their
work,
space
redesigned
and
constructed
and
I.
Think
it's
fabulous
and
I
know.
The
ladies
are
excited
about
it.
So
Jacobs
gonna
just
put
up
a
little
rendition
I.
D
And
the
plan
involves
for
the
ladies
that
have
their
offices
next
to
each
other
because
they
work
together
and
on
projects
all
day
long.
So
it's
in
the
corner
of
the
upstairs
of
City
Hall,
where
Chris
Wright's
office
is
now
essentially
and
that's
where
Elise's
workspaces,
but
of
course,
with
these,
this
redesign
of
that
of
that
area,
they're
gonna,
have
their
own
private
offices
with
some
really
fancy.
D
D
I
can
see
it.
Is
there
another
image,
another
image
yeah
there
you
go.
So
that's
right.
Basically,
in
the
area
where
Chris
Wright's
office
is
now
currently
on
the
second
floor,
City
Hall
and
I'm
staying
out
of
it,
but
it
sure
looks
great
I.
Don't
know
how
it's
just
gonna
work
out
perfectly
I'm,
sure
I
don't
have
any
style
or
taste
with
design,
so
I
stay
out
and
I,
just
like
Karen.
Do
everything
yeah
so.
A
For
for
mayor
and
council
for
your
for
your
benefit,
this
is
something
that
we
had
on
the
books
going
back
multiple
weeks
ago,
I
went
ahead
and
authorized
this
as
an
emergency
purchase
for
the
purposes
of
getting
in
the
queue
and
and
getting
this
work
scheduled.
The
purchase
came
in
at
over
25,000
who
will
be
coming
back
to
council
for
retroactive
approval.
A
A
A
Yes,
this,
this
would
basically
resolve
an
issue
with
regards
to
personnel
in
this
particular
portion
of
the
building.
The
space
needs.
Analysis
would
still
take
a
look
at
the
entire
building
beyond
just
administration,
so
with
regards
to
administration,
as
Chris
indicated,
not
ready
to
make
any
recommendations
for
an
assistant
city
attorney
at
this
point
in
time.
We're
not
looking
at
any
other
changes
in
administration
at
this
point
in
time.
So
as
far
as
administration
goes,
the
number
of
personnel
and
the
space
we
have
would
be
adequate
going
forward.
A
E
We're
going
to
be
investing
$25,000
in
this
space
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this
space
is
and
then
going
to
have
to
be
rigid
to
in,
after
a
space
analysis
to
say
that
no
it
needs
to.
We
need
to
reformat
that
floor
and
that's
gonna
be
this.
That
needs
to
be
included
in
that
Reformation,
and
then
we
have
to
put
more
money
into
it.
Correct.
A
Not
even
started
yet
we
have
that
on
the
schedule
for
procurement
to
start
sometime
before
the
end
of
the
year.
With
that
being
said,
with
Chris
on
board,
in
being
able
to
move
a
lot
of
the
projects
that
were
slow
to
to
get
off,
the
ground
he's
been
able
to
help
move
a
lot
of
them
forward
and
that
has
actually
created
an
additional
workflow
in
procurement.
So
our
goal
is
still
to
start
the
project
before
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year.
But
at
this
point
it
has
not
begun
yet.
A
A
This
was
not
done
in
a
vacuum.
We
we
also
included
Karen
Nelson
who's,
the
the
the
deputy
and
had
been
CFO
and
a
department
director
through
the
last
recession.
We
also
included
Putnam
as
the
director
of
our
largest
utility
here
within
Jax
beach,
to
get
his
input
as
to
what
we
were
looking
at
and
how
that
might
be
beneficial.
So
one
of
the
things
Jacob,
if
you
could
put
up
we've,
got
some
slides
associated
with
this,
which
may
make
it
a
little
bit
easier
for
for
following
along.
A
Okay
yep:
this
is
the
first
slide,
so
one
of
the
first
things
we
wanted
to
do
was
recap
not
only
for
council,
but
also
for
the
public.
What
programs
we
already
have
in
place
things
that
we've
done
as
the
kovat
19
pandemic
has
kind
of
blossomed
over
the
past
15
to
30
days.
The
first
is
with
regards
to
late
fee
charges
in
service
disconnections
we
are,
are
currently
stopping
those
until
further
notice.
A
We
recognize
that
people
may
be
finding
themselves
in
a
financial
hardship
situation,
and
the
last
thing
we
want
to
do
is
start
hitting
them
with
the
late
fee
charges
and
disconnecting
power
when
they
may
be
in
a
financial
hardship
and
again.
This
is
something
that
was
in
place
back
in
2008
through
10
as
well,
and
a
little
bit
beyond
the
second
big
one
which
you
all
received.
A
An
update
on
going
back
just
a
week
or
so
ago
was
the
beaches,
energy
services,
both
power
power,
cost
adjustment
and
the
fact
that
we
suspended
that
charge
for
the
month
of
April
and
that
will
result
in
a
little
over
$20
per
customer
return
on
their
bill
and
that's
something
that
we
felt
could
financially
be
done
based
on
the
power
cost
and
what
it
had
actually
been
over
the
course
of
the
year.
So
these
are
two
things
that
have
already
been
done
up
to
this
point
in
time.
Next
slide,
please.
A
What
are
we
looking
at
over
the
next
30
to
60
days?
There's
a
few
actions
that
we'd
like
to
take
and
we
wanted
to
make
the
council
aware
of
it.
Some
of
it.
I
have
administrative
authority
for,
and
some
of
it
may
needs.
You
have
council
approval,
depending
on
what
you
count
we'd
like
to
pull
from
so
the
first
one
is
in
taking
a
look
at
the
numbers.
We
feel
that
we
can
do
a
second
month
suspension
of
the
bulk
power
cost
adjustment
again
for
the
month
of
May.
A
We
feel
that
if
we,
if
we
do,
have
the
ability
to
do
it,
we
shouldn't
necessarily
wait
until
the
end
of
the
year
as
we
originally
had
planned.
But
perhaps
me
we
may
want
to
do
this
back-to-back
to
provide
immediate
financial
relief
to
those
that
are
hurting
from
this.
The
second
is
expansion
of
the
customer
assistance
relief
emergency
program.
This
is
referred
to
as
care.
A
This
is
a
program
that
the
city
funds
through
beam
beaches,
emergency
assistant
ministry,
the
city
programs,
about
60,000
dollars
per
year
and
beam
administers
the
distribution
of
those
funds
to
individuals
or
families
that
find
themselves
in
financial
hardship
and
need
some
financial
assistant
in
order
to
either
pay
rent
or
utilities
and
not
face
an
eviction
or
a
disconnect
of
the
such
we
of
the
60,000
that's
in
for
this
year
and
we're
halfway
through
the
year.
Beam
has
already
expended
about
30
of
the
$60,000
dollars
in
funds.
A
I
spoke
with
a
representative
for
being
the
other
day
and
they
indicated
that
if
we
were
to
increase
the
funding
to
this
particular
resource,
they
do
have
the
ability
to
could
to
continue
administering
it
through
the
remainder
of
the
year
at
no
fee
to
us
or
no
charge
to
us.
So
our
recommendation
is
to
actually
add
an
additional
thirty
thousand
dollars
into
that
particular
program,
so
that
would
bring
us
from
sixty
thousand
dollars
to
a
$90,000
per
contribution
for
this
particular
program
for
this
particular
year.
Next
slide,
please
Mike.
A
Okay,
the
the
next
slide
speaks
to
the
issue
of
tenants
that
we
have
and
what
we're
thinking
might
be
applicable
to
do
in
this
particular
instance.
It
is
not
lost
on
us
that,
at
the
national
level,
the
state
level
and
even
at
the
county
level,
there
are
currently
a
lot
of
financial
assistant
assistance,
that's
being
provided
for
small
businesses.
The
biggest
issue
for
the
small
businesses
may
be
a
delay
in
getting
their
financial
support
in
order
to
keep
running
with.
A
That
being
said,
we
do
have
a
couple
different
types
of
tenants
and
we
feel
that
we
can
provide
assistance
that
that
maximizes,
the
most
of
that
first
off
is
we
do
have
nonprofit
tenants
which,
as
you
can
imagine,
the
nonprofit's
are
likely
to
see
a
major
decrease
in
their
revenues
and
not
necessarily
have
a
mechanism
for
pulling
those
additional
resources
in
to
continue
to
provide
service
to
the
community
where
that
support
is
needed.
So
one
of
the
options
for
consideration
is
waving.
A
The
April
and
May
rent
for
our
nonprofit
tenants
and
ashley
can
provide
you
with
the
breakdown
of
that
if
you'd
like
it.
The
second
is
with
regards
to
our
restaurants,
our
food
service
establishments
and
our
industrial
or
commercial
tenants
that
we
have
in
our
industrial
park
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
going
back
to
the
recession.
The
Great
Recession
was
to
actually
suspend
the
late
fees
and
allow
a
grace
period
of
up
to
six
months
for
those
tenants
to
get
caught
up
on
their
rents.
A
I
may
have
mentioned
to
you
at
our
last
council
briefing
that
we
had
already
been
reached
out
to
by
one
of
our
tenants
one
of
our
commercial
tenants
asking
for
some
rent
relief.
This
is
something
that
could
be
uniformly
applied
across
all
of
our
industrial
tenants
and
letting
them
know
if
they
miss
a
payment.
A
It's
not
that
they're
off
the
hook
on
the
payment,
but
they
do
have
a
grace
period
in
which
to
pay
that
back
and
get
caught
back
up
the
one
area
that
we
did
not
feel
that
the
that
any
type
of
a
a
rent,
subsidy
or
or
rent
benefit
was
needed
was
with
regards
to
our
water
towers.
In
our
antenna
we
have
telecom
tenants
that
are
in
a
completely
different
world.
With
regards
to
their
business,
there's
no
people
associated
with
that
particular
operation.
A
It's
a
fixed
asset
mounted
onto
one
of
our
aerial
platforms
and
in
telecom,
is
basically
not
really
being
impacted,
like
the
restaurants
are
in
some
of
the
other
day-to-day
business
operations
that
are
being
restricted
for
being
either
essential
with
restrictions
or
non-essential
and
being
told
they
have
to
shut
down.
So
the
areas
that
we
thought
could
use
some
benefit
were
the
non
profit
tenants
and
our
restaurants
and
industrial
tenants
within
our
industrial
park.
E
I,
like
all
of
these,
especially
the
rent
with
the
nonprofits
and
the
grace
periods
and
your
previous
ones,
when
this
comes
in
front
of
council
you'll,
do
you
know
like
what
kind
of
a
program
by
program
as
well
as
two
totals
as
the
aggregate
of
all
the
programs,
what
the
cost
will
be
granted?
The
city
is
in
a
far
better
position
currently
to
be
able
to
absorb
these
financial
costs
than
these
individual
businesses,
but
that
just
means
that
we're
going
to
have
to
make
it
up
in
the
long
run.
So
do
we.
A
Ashley
and
I
went
through
all
the
numbers
and
we
took
a
look
at
it
and
we
broke
it
out
by
category
with
regards
to
the
nonprofit's
they're,
just
under
$15,000
per
month
for
the
total
rents
collected
by
the
city.
So
if
we
were
to
waive
their
rent
for
the
two
month
window,
we
would
be
looking
at
approximately
$30,000
or
twenty-nine
thousand
six
hundred
dollars
for
the
went
rent
waving
with
regards
to
the
the
restaurant
in
the
industrial
parks.
We
collect
just
about
$25,000
a
month
between
the
restaurants
and
the
industrial
parks
on
rent
rent
tenancy.
A
So
if
they
had
a
grace
period,
there's
the
possibility
that
we
would
basically
be
floating
about
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
value
for
a
period
of
six
months,
with
the
hopes
that
they
would
pay
it
back
within
the
six-month
window
and
then
again
with
regards
to
the
to
the
tenants
that
are
on
our
water
tower
and
mothballs.
That's
about
another
twenty
three
thousand
dollars
per
month
and
we're
not
looking
to
provide
any
fiscal
benefits
in
that
particular
category.
A
C
A
E
G
F
E
Many
nonprofits
do
we
have
renting
from
us.
We
have
3
nonprofit
agencies,
we
have
beam
soles,
blocker
and
the
arc
of
st.
John's
arc.
Okay,
those
are
three
very
stable
organizations
and
I
don't
see
them
not
renewing
their
leases
after
a
year,
it's
not
like
it's
a
they're
small
they're,
barely
making
it
so
I'm
comfortable
with
the
at
least
personally
I'm
comfortable
with
the
two
month.
Rent
release
for
those
organizations.
I
am.
G
A
We
can
do
a
double
check
on
our
n
just
to
make
sure
that
they're
not
within
the
last
six
to
twelve
months
of
an
agreement
and
that
their
intention
is
to
go
somewhere
else.
We'll
make
sure
that
they're
in
the
throws
over
in
the
middle
of
a
multi-year
agreement
with
us
or
at
least
a
year
to
year,
and
make
sure
that
there's
still
ample
time
left
with
them.
G
G
We
we
have
a
couple
different
options.
One
option
is,
we
could
transfer
it
from
the
general
fund
unanticipated
account.
A
second
option
is
we're
realizing
a
benefit
in
the
power
cost
for
the
fiscal
year.
So
we
can
transfer
that
from
our
expected
under
budget
and
power
costs
and
give
that
fun
to
the
care
and.
E
G
E
G
E
E
E
No,
no
I
just
I
support
using
the
beaches
energy
instead
of
pulling
it
out
of
the
general
I,
think
we're
going
to
need.
The
discretionary
out
of
the
general
in
the
future
it'll
be
far
more
hairy
to
try
and
pull
it
out
of
beaches
energy
and
get
it
into
the
general
versus
just
keeping
the
beaches,
energy
and
the
beaches,
energy
and
saving
the
reserves
that
we
have
in
the
general
for
another,
four
or
five
months.
Good
way
that
we
don't
know
what
we're
going
to
be.
Looking
like
I.
C
A
A
So
general
consensus
going
in
the
right
direction
with
this
and
excellent
and
and
we'll
look
at
doing
the
the
funding
for
that
additional
care
program:
administrative
Lea.
So
that
way
we
can
do
it
quickly
and
get
it
up
and
running.
We
know
that
we've
already
got
individuals
that
have
been
contacting
beaches,
energy
about
being
laid
off
and
not
being
able
to
pay
their
bills.
So
it
is
starting
to
hit
home
very
quickly.
So.
G
A
A
C
C
G
C
E
C
A
It
I
thank
you
all
for
joining
us
for
the
briefing
tonight.
Are
you
all?
Okay,
with
you're
all
okay,
with
using
this
format
for
council
meeting
on
the
20th?
One
of
the
thoughts
is
that
we
do
another
briefing
using
this
format
on
the
27th,
rather
than
try
to
do
the
briefings
and
the
meetings
back
to
back
is
the
27th,
something
that
you'd
all
be
amenable
for.
If
you
can
do
it
from
your
homes,
yep.
E
A
Using
this
technology
might
be
a
little
cumbersome,
especially
knowing
that
the
crowds
might
be
different
or
the
public
input
might
be
different.
Switching
from
meeting
to
meeting.
So
if
you're,
all
okay
with
it,
at
least
for
the
short
term
we'd
like
to
do
the
briefings
and
the
council
meeting
alternate
for
the
next
two
weeks
and
just.
E
A
E
A
Meetings
going
to
be
at
6,
one
of
the.
If
you
remember
at
the
last
council
meeting,
you
all
adopted
a
resolution
that
you
could
change
the
meeting
time,
so
our
proposal
would
be
start
the
meeting
at
6
o'clock.
So
that
way,
if
we
run
into
technical
difficulties
or
we
have
issues,
we've
got
a
little
bit
more
time
to
handle
it,
while
in
this
format,
as
opposed
to
having
to
scrub
the
meeting
early
for
any
for
any
way,
shape
or
form.
So
the
goal
would
be
start.
D
Right
and
Jacob
will
have
to
walk
Mike
in
the
mayor
through
this
particular
segment
of
the
the
meeting.
But
there
will
be
a
time
just
as
we
normally
do
during
a
particular
agenda
item
and
in
the
segment
for
courtesy
to
the
floor,
in
which
either
with
Jacob
and
the
mayor
and
Mike,
the
three
of
them
can
work
it
out
as
to.
D
However,
the
mayor
is
comfortable
with
it,
but
will
be
able
to
recognize
people
that
have
already
pre-registered
or
have
been
have
raised
their
hands
and
we
and
they're
being
recognized
for
the
same
amount
of
time
that
we
would
normally
recognize
them
in
person,
and
they
will
have
the
use
of
this
virtual
platform.
This
media
technology,
to
the
to
allow
the
council
to
hear
their
public
input
on
a
particular
agenda
item
or
at
courtesy
to
the
floor.
D
But
Jacob
is
going
to
have
that
all
worked
out
where
it's
going
to
come
out,
essentially
as
if
they're
in
the
same
way,
it
would
have
in
a
live
setting
where
they're
still
going
to
be
able
to
speak
for
their
allotted
amount
of
time
on
an
agenda
item
and
occur
to
the
floor.
It's
kind
of
Mike
and
the
mayor
are
going
to
have
to
decide
exactly
how
they
want
to
control
that.
But,
as
the
mayor
just
said,
you
know
it
terms
in
terms
of
the
other
council
members.
D
If
you
raise
your
hand,
I'll
recognize
you
the
same
way.
I
would
if
we
were
in
the
chambers-
and
you
turned
on
the
switch
it's
going
to
be
the
same
very
similar
situation,
where
a
member
of
the
public
will
be
recognized
either
has
already
pre-registered
or
have
raising
their
hands.
We're
gonna
have
to
get
all
their
information
from
them
and
we'll
do
that
through
this
technology.
D
H
H
H
H
G
H
Not
we
don't
kill
any,
but
we
don't
contribute
to
rent
assistance.
We
only
contribute
through
the
care
through
the
care
program
through
beaches,
energy,
that's
I,
just
it
just
so
I
mean
we're
I.
Guess:
Marilyn
was
going
to
ask
the
other
two
cities
to
contribute
two
beams
to
beaches
in
its
beaches.
Energy
scare
program,
that's
administered
through
beam,
but
I.
Don't
know
that
beam
has
the
same
relationship
with
je.
Yes
I'm
just
saying
it
might
be
a
moot
point
to
contact
Atlanta
I
know:
JEA
does
have
a
similar
program,
but
I
don't
know.
C
H
A
Again
so
I
guess
that's
another
great.
That
would
be
a
that
would
be
a
question
for
council
if
we
put
an
extra
thirty
thousand
in
the
pot.
Do
you
want
that
specifically
to
beaches,
energy
electric
bills,
or
do
you
want
that
for
the
full
gamut
of
what
being
offers
in
terms
of
assistance
we
can
we
can
make
it
specific
to
the
care
program
and
specific
to
the
beaches,
energy
or,
if
you
want
to
open
it
up,
we
could
as
well.
