• Appropriates $675,000 from the designated contingency account established by Ord. 2025-781-E

to provide funding to the Jacksonville General Apprenticeship Association, Inc. (“JGAA”) to

support apprenticeship and certification programs for qualified Duval County residents

• The City will pay JGAA $2,500 for each qualified enrollee upon enrollment, regardless of

continuation in the apprenticeship programs, and the number of qualified enrollees will be

determined once annually on September 1 of each year during the program term

• Authorizes carryover of funding through fiscal year 26/27

• Waives the requirement in Code Sec. 118.107 that City funds appropriated to nonprofit

organizations shall be subject to a competitive evaluated award process in order to authorize a

direct contract with JGAA for the term of May 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027

DISCUSSION/CONCERN:

As introduced, the City will pay JGAA on the basis of qualified individuals who enroll in the

apprenticeship programs. The term sheet does not include any clawback provisions that would

allow the City to recoup the funds in the event a participant drops out of the program after

enrollment.

AUDITOR RECOMMENDED AMENDMENT:

Extend term of contract to 9/30/28 and require reporting on status of enrollees one year after

payment by City. Any enrollee who is not still in the program would result in a repayment to the

City of the $2,500 from JGAA.
