CM Amaro offered an amendment. Ms. Schell explained that the amendment would change the

geographic boundary for the Renew Arlington Advisory Board member qualifications for Categories 2

and 5 to be within Council District 1. The motion was seconded.

CM Clark-Murray asked for the rationale for the boundary changes. Karen Nasrallah from the Office of

Economic Development explained that they have struggled to get new board members because the

current boundary requirements are too restrictive. These vacancies often lead to a lack of quorum for

meetings, which then results in action not being taken on items. The expansion of the boundary would

allow for a broader pool of candidates.

CM Boylan asked if individuals had been identified for the seats and if there were plans to support their

transition into the board member role. Ms. Nasrallah said members were very active in the community,

attended meetings, and were well-informed. She added that they also hold an initiation for new board

members, during which the redevelopment plans are explained along with relevant statutes.

CM Salem asked Ms. Nasrallah whether she thought expanding the boundary to include all of Council

District 1 was needed, rather than a more gradual increase of 3 miles in any direction. Ms. Nasrallah

said that in one direction, an increase of three miles would be across the river and include the Talleyrand

area, which is not part of Council District 1. She added that once the commercial corridors of University

Boulevard, Merrill Road, Arlington Road, and Fort Caroline are fully redeveloped, there will be a ripple

effect on the communities within Council District 1.

CM Amaro reiterated Ms. Nasrallah's statement and said it was common sense to expand the boundaries

to include all of Council District 1.

CM Boylan asked why not apply the same rule to the King Soutel area and include all of District 10 and

requested Ms. Nasrallah’s thoughts on that. She said she had no objections to that change. CM Boylan

suggested acting on CM Amaro’s amendment, after which he intended to introduce another amendment

to apply a similar boundary change to the King Soutel CRA Board. CM Clark-Murray asked to be added

as a co-sponsor to the bill.

The Amaro amendment was passed unanimously.

CM Boylan moved an amendment to expand the boundaries for eligible King Soutel CRA board

members to include all of District 10. The motion was seconded.

CM Salem said he was not comfortable moving the amendment forward since CM Pittman was not

present to comment on it. He asked if Ms. Nasrallah had discussed this with CM Pittman. Ms. Nasrallah

said that she had not but was willing to speak with her. CM Salem said he would not support the

amendment before CM Pittman was briefed and provided input.

CM Clark-Murray said that she shared CM Salem’s concern that the district CM had not been made

aware of the change.

CM Amaro said that the King Soutel CRA has had its distance requirements waived in the past and

reckoned that CM Pittman would agree with the change, though he agreed with the other CM’s desire to

inform her before moving forward.

Mr. Peterson added that King Soutel CRA included Council Districts 8 and 12 along with District 10.

CM Boylan withdrew his motion to amend. The bill was moved and seconded as amended.

AMENDMENT

1. Revise the qualifications for the Renew Arlington CRA Advisory Board members to 1) require

the business owner member to own a business located within Council District 1 (rather than

District 1 (rather than within 3-miles of the CRA boundary and east and south of the river)

2. Correct scrivener’s error

• Amends Sec. 53.102 to revise the Renew Arlington CRA Advisory Board member qualifications

to allow 1) business owners with a business located within one mile of the CRA boundary (instead

boundary (instead of a one mile radius of the CRA boundary) and east and south of the river

• Amends Sec. 53.202 to revise the KingSoutel Crossing CRA Advisory Board member

qualifications to allow the citizen representative members to live, work, or own a business within

three miles of the CRA boundary (instead of live within one mile of the CRA boundary)

CM Salem asked Mr. Peterson to verify that the General Fund Operating Reserves dollars being

appropriated by this bill had been previously allocated and then fell into the Reserves. Mr. Peterson

confirmed that the dollars had been appropriated in 2024 and that the contract allowed them to be

carried over to September 2025, at which point they were returned to Reserves. CM Salem asked CM

Johnson what changes had occurred to make him hopeful that the project would proceed. CM Johnson

said that Judge James Ruth was now the Chair of the board responsible for overseeing the project and

had explained the plan.

CM Boylan asked if the grant agreement was on a reimbursement basis. Mr. Peterson explained that the

agreement authorizes a 25 percent advance. The organization is then required to provide evidence that

the advance was spent to qualify for future reimbursements.

CM White, Clark-Murray, and Amaro asked to be added as co-sponsors. CM Amaro asked whether

there were people ready to begin work on the site and whether the funding in the bill would be sufficient

to accomplish it. CM Johnson said the funding would support roof repairs to avoid demolition by

neglect. CM Amaro asked if the organization had any relationship with a nearby church. CM Johnson

said that the organization was its own separate entity.

CM Peluso asked to be added as a co-sponsor.

CM Freeman explained that his bill was born out of CM Arias’s workforce initiative bill, which did not

include local unions. He offered an amendment to address some issues raised by the Council Auditor,

which Mr. Peterson explained. The Auditor’s recommended amendment was moved and seconded. It

was approved unanimously. The bill was moved and seconded as amended.

CM Clark-Murray asked why reporting was required annually and whether it was due to the enrollment

also occurring annually. CM Freeman said the program's electrical component had two enrollment

periods, one in the spring and one in the fall. He added that there were other programs with different

enrollment timelines. Mr. Peterson added that JGAA stated that the program had a single, annual

enrollment period starting in September. He further explained that once enrollees enter the program,

JGAA will send the City documentation. The City will then pay JGAA $2,500 for each qualified

enrollee.

CMs White and Salem asked to be added as co-sponsors. CM Amaro also asked to be added as a

co-sponsor and said the amendment added merit to the bill since it protects the City’s investment and

motivates students to complete the program.

CM Boylan asked for a definition of “qualified enrollee.” Mr. Peterson said that a qualified enrollee was

defined as a program-eligible Duval County resident who is enrolled in one of the JGAA apprenticeship

programs, including electrical, sheet metal, plumbers and pipe fitters, operating engineers, and

carpenters.

CM Freeman asked Mr. Delaney if apprenticeship programs were among the Administration’s

priorities. Mr. Delaney said he would get back to the Council once he has an answer, adding that he did

not see any potential objections. CM Gay requested an update in the upcoming Rules Committee

meeting. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Delaney received word that the Administration supported the bill.

CM Clark-Murray asked to be added as a co-sponsor.

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.
