Presentation by Northeast Florida Regional Council  
Tyler Nolen, Special Projects Coordinator for Northeast Florida Regional Council (NEFRC), presented  
on the NEFRC’s support of the City of Jacksonville Public Safety. He stated that NEFRC provides  
funds to public safety entities. One example of this was the Local Emergency Planning Committee for  
Hazardous Materials (LEPC), which is required in every state by the federal government. He added that  
the Florida Statutes require these committees to focus strictly on hazardous materials. He said they also  
have the Region 3 Healthcare Coalition, which he described as the emergency-preparedness sector of  
healthcare. NEFRC, in general, can provide support to fire and rescue, sheriff’s offices, and emergency  
management offices upon request.  
Mr. Nolen provided an overview of LEPCs and explained that they were created by the Superfund  
Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986 in response to a series of disasters in the 1980s. In  
Florida, the Division of Emergency Management pushes contracts to all regional councils to implement  
the program and support hazardous materials teams. He added that there are three hazardous material  
teams in Northeast Florida. He continued, stating that JFRD was so large that Jacksonville, in effect,  
had two type one hazardous material teams in the City. He defined type one teams as those with the  
means to respond to any incident regardless of any chemical or radiological components. Because of  
this, the Florida Division of Emergency Management updated its regional maps for the regional councils  
to better align with existing programs in each region. These state and federal mandates are funded.  
He explained that one of the biggest parts of his role is communicating with municipalities and that he  
works most closely with JFRD's hazardous materials teams. He provided an overview of Hazardous  
Materials Training initiatives accomplished thus far for FY 25-26. This included sending 15 JFRD  
personnel to the Florida Hazardous Materials Symposium; sending 2 JFRD personnel to Advanced  
Hazardous Materials Life Support training in April, with plans for additional personnel to attend the  
June course; and sending 3 JFRD personnel to a Maritime Hazardous Materials response course.  
He said they have been working on training in a variety of gas responses, which will conclude in April  
2026 with a class on responding to chlorine gas. This follows June 2023 training on anhydrous  
ammonia, a February 2025 CSX rail training, and an October 2025 training on liquified/compressed  
natural gas. He said they have also been working on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) training, which  
was recently approved for recurring federal funds. Once they have conducted the initial pilot class, they  
will be able to offer the course more regularly to not only first responders with fire and rescue but also  
to sheriff’s offices.  
Mr. Nolen then provided more details on their Healthcare Coalition. He explained the coalitions were a  
federal initiative funded through the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR)  
and focused on emergency preparedness in the healthcare sector. He said the Region 3 Healthcare  
Coalition serves an 18-county region across North Florida, with many healthcare networks centered in  
Jacksonville. The alliance has over 980 members across 550+ organizations, agencies, and facilities.  
Mr. Nolen then explained their Hazardous Materials Shelter-in-Place program, which is a combined  
effort between the LEPC and the Healthcare Coalition. He said they were able to provide training to  
over 30 facilities in Jacksonville and intend to conduct an exercise at those facilities soon.  
Mr. Nolen provided a list of some equipment they have been able to purchase through their various  
initiatives including six tabletop exercises for first responders and receivers, multiple training  
opportunities for radiological, nuclear, and WMD response, and $61,000 in project funding to  
Jacksonville area facilities, which included mass casualty stretcher packs and evacuation sleds, pediatric  
restraints for JFRD Rescue Units, and evacuation sleds for long-term care facilities. He also detailed  
other NEFRC initiatives supporting the City of Jacksonville, including a Northeast Florida Military  
Installation Readiness Review, a JEA Hurricane Exercise, and a Regional Resilience Action Plan.  
CM Boylan asked how NEFRC intended to address increased traffic flow in parts of the City. Mr. Nolen  
said that NEFRC conducted a Hazardous Materials Commodity Flow study, which involved randomly  
sampling the number of trucks carrying hazardous materials in a given area using the UN-mandated  
placards on those vehicles. He said they have not done a report in a while but are looking at how to use  
traffic cameras and artificial intelligence to conduct those studies in the future.  
CM Amaro thanked Mr. Nolen and the NEFRC for their work.

The amendment was moved and seconded. Mr. Peterson explained the amendment. The amendment  
passed unanimously.  
CM Boylan moved an amendment to limit the name change to the segment of Confederate Street  
between Market and Liberty Street, leaving the name intact for the segment between Hubbard and  
Market Street. He explained that this amendment solves two problems: it recognizes the historical  
nature of Confederate Street and its location while addressing the concerns of the entity taking over the  
building on Liberty and Confederate. The amendment was seconded.  
CM Amaro said he seconded the amendment because it seemed like a good compromise.  
CM Miller asked for clarification on the amendment, and CM Boylan provided it.  
CM White said he had planned to offer an amendment to withdraw the bill but was interested in CM  
Boylan’s amendment.  
The amendment was approved 6-1 (CM Salem opposed). Chair Gay rolled the amendments up. The bill  
was moved as amended and seconded.  
AMENDMENT

CM Clark-Murray asked if residents consented to the three percent increase. Mr. Peterson said that there  
was no required consent from the affected property owners. He explained that the charter, established in  
2021, authorized a maximum annual increase in assessments of three percent.  
CM Salem asked how the special district was proceeding, noting that the issue was contentious when it  
was passed. Mr. Peterson said he could not answer that specific question but could provide some  
financial statistics from last year. He said the Council authorized a $1.1 million budget for the special  
district, and they still have about $400,000 available. He said they are clearly spending money on  
needed improvements but indicated it would take some time to complete all the updates needed in the  
area.  
CM Boylan recalled that much of the contention with the special district stemmed from newer  
neighborhoods that had current infrastructure. He said that things seemed to be moving in the right  
direction.

7 -  
The amendment was moved and seconded. Mr. Peterson explained the amendment. The amendment  
was passed unanimously. The bill was moved as amended and seconded.  
CM Boylan asked whether they had already disbursed funds for the Level 1 Tree Planting program. Mr.  
Peterson said he did not recall funding for Level 1 and added that they have funded Level 2 every two  
years. He said that as those funds are drawn down, the Tree Commission will take up an item to  
replenish them, and that there was about $26 million between the two funds. CM Boylan asked the  
Administration what they were doing to encourage people to identify areas where trees could be planted.  
Bill Delaney from the Administration said that he would look into it and get back with CM Boylan. Ms.  
Sickler from Public Works said they were working on ways to identify projects. She said that one was  
the 100 Tree Challenge in each district, spearheaded by former Council President White, and that nearly  
every district managed to plant trees. She said they continue to work with each council member to  
identify locations within their districts where more trees are needed, which is why they need additional  
funding.

The amendment was moved and seconded. Mr. Peterson explained the amendment. The amendment  
passed unanimously.  
CM Clark-Murray asked why the additional property was not acquired. Chief Golden of JFRD said the  
purchase of the additional land fell through because the asking price was too high.  
CM Salem said he was philosophically opposed to using debt funding for art and asked how enthused  
Chief Golden was about the art funding component. Chief Golden said it was a holistic purchase,  
including art, lighting, and other upgrades, that would improve the corridor. CM Salem asked who  
would design the mural. Chief Golden said they were still in the planning stages and would want  
someone from the community to design the mural. CM Salem said he would support the bill despite his  
reservations.  
Mr. Peterson clarified that the project’s cost was not $9,000. Rather, of the $1.5 million appropriated,  
roughly $10,000 was spent, and the project’s total estimate is just over $1.3 million. CM Clark-Murray  
asked how the $10,000 was spent. Mr. Peterson said it was spent on their preliminary work attempting  
to acquire the parking lot. CM Clark-Murray asked how much the art portion of the project would cost.  
Chief Golden said that $161,000 would go toward the fire station design, $800,000 toward construction,  
$200,000 toward a contingency, and $150,000 toward CEI. He said they had not yet confirmed an  
amount for the mural.  
CM Amaro said he liked the approach and would support the bill.

CM Boylan asked about the bill's demand. Chief Golden said there was not a high need for this, as all  
fire stations are currently safe havens. He said the boxes were for people who did not want to be  
identified. He said he did not have any specific numbers. CM Boylan moved an amendment to reduce  
the number of boxes to four, with one in each quadrant of the city. He reasoned that it would reduce the  
price to roughly $100,000 and would allow them to see if expansion of the program was warranted.  
Ms. Staffopoulos said that the current locations for the boxes were listed by fire station address in the  
legislation and expressed concern that staff would be left to identify locations for CM Boylan’s  
amendment, but that should be determined by the Council. She suggested offering the amendment at a  
future committee meeting to allow time to identify and discuss locations. CM Boylan withdrew his  
amendment and requested that Chief Golden assist in identifying potential locations for his amendment.  
CM White suggested deferring for one cycle to allow Chief Golden to determine the appropriate number  
of boxes and locations. Chair Gay deferred the bill and allowed CMs to discuss further.  
CM Clark-Murray said she respected the amendments and deferral and asked about the funding source,  
noting that, currently, funding would come from reserves. She said the cause was worthy but thought  
another source may be more appropriate.  
CM Amaro asked if it was correct that the rationale for the boxes in each district was to increase access,  
convenience, and anonymity. Chief Golden confirmed that it was the rationale and said they would be  
looking to identify locations near interstates and major thoroughfares. CM Amaro asked to be added as  
a co-sponsor.  
CM Miller said he was concerned about the funding source and wanted to see it adjusted before he  
would co-sponsor the bill, though he was ultimately supportive of the bill.  
Chair Gay said he would defer the bill and support it.
