1. Pg. 1, line 26: strike “,” and insert “;”  
2. Correct formatting of Florida Statute references  
• Amends Sec. 22.02 of the Charter to:  
1) clarify the term length of the fifth member of the Police and Fire Pension Fund (PFPF) Board  
of Trustees, and  
2) strike language that:  
- Limits Council appointees to two four-year terms  
- Requires that Council appointees have at least 10 years of professional financial experience  
- Prohibits Council appointees from being a participant or enrolled in a City of Jacksonville  
pension  
• Amends Sec. 22.12 of the Charter to:  
1) add language that employees of the Board are authorized to join the retirement plan offered  
by the City of Jacksonville to its general employees, subject to the limitations set forth in  
Section 212.055 (9), Florida Statutes, and  
2) strike language that was added pursuant to Ord. 2015-683-E prohibiting the PFPF Board  
from the following:  
- Creating any pension or other retirement plan,  
- Administering any pension or retirement plan other than the PFPF, and  
- Offering to its employees any retirement plan other than the General Employees Pension  
Plan or Defined Contribution Plan  
• Repeals Part 5 (Financial Investment and Advisory Committee) of Chapter 121 (Police and  
Firefighters Pension Plan)  
• Repeals Part 6 (Ethics, Fiduciary Responsibilities and Best Practices) of Chapter 121 (Police and  
Firefighters Pension Plan) and creates a new Sec. 121.119 (Fiduciary and Ethical Standards)  
• Amends Sec. 121.105 (Pensioner’s rights upon reemployment by City) to strike language that  
was added in 2020 allowing PFPF pensioners to be re-employed on a temporary basis as police  
officers and firefighters to assist with COVID pandemic-related vacancies and continue to receive  
their PFPF retirement benefits  
• Amends Sec. 121.117 (Executive Director-Administrator) to add language that the PFPF  
Executive Director-Administrator and any senior management employee shall be placed in a  
pension or other retirement plan or the retirement plan offered by the City of Jacksonville to its  
general employees, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 212.055 (9), Florida Statutes  
• Amends Sec. 121.304 (Forfeiture, disqualification and recovery of pension benefits for frauds  
committed on or to the Police and Fire Pension Fund and for other acts which could result in the  
loss of City pension benefits) to strike language regarding administrative hearings  
• Authorizes the execution of an amendment to the 2015 Retirement Reform Agreement to reflect  
the changes approved through this legislation  
• The actuarial report shows no impact to the Police and Fire Pension Fund as a result of the  
changes proposed in this bill  
CONCERNS  
1. With the removal of the language in Section 22.12 of the Charter, the PFPF Board could create  
a new pension or retirement plan or reopen/add additional members to the Senior Staff Voluntary  
Retirement Plan (SSVRP), for which the City would ultimately be financially responsible.  
2. Protections that were established by Ord. 2015-304-E are being removed through the repeal of  
Part 6 of Ch. 121. Specific protections that are being removed include the following:  
a. Requirement that the City and PFPF Board agree on any modification to the PFPF’s assumed  
annual actuarial rate of return  
b. Requirement to provide an annual actuarial valuation of the PFPF no later than 120 days  
after October 1  
c. Requirement to provide the PFPF’s quarterly investment return reports  
d. Requirement to provide annual financial statements for the PFPF  
e. Requirement for the PFPF to publish certain information on its website  
f. Requirement for PFPF investment managers, advisors, and investment consultants to provide  
annual certifications regarding fiduciary responsibilities, policies and procedures, and ethical  
matters  
AUDITOR RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS  
1. Revise Section 22.12 of the Charter to 1) add clarifying language that the PFPF Board has the  
authority to continue to administer the SSVRP for the participants named in the lawsuit and 2)  
employees of the Board are only authorized to join the retirement plan offered by the City of  
Jacksonville to its general employees and adjust Section 121.117 to remove language related to "a  
pension or other retirement plan.”  
2. Remove repeal of Part 6 of Ch. 121. While some of the provisions in Part 6 may be addressed in  
the Florida Statutes, we recommend keeping this part in the Code as it provides protections for  
the City that are stronger than what is required by the statutes.

AMENDMENT  
1. Revise the Sec. 118.107 waiver justification originally approved in Ord. 2025-781-E to reflect  
the new project

3. Attach Revised Exhibit 2 (Use Agreement) to reference 2026 legislation instead of Ord.

2025-781-E to provide funding not to exceed $2,000,000 for the planning, design, and permitting

Living, Learning Community Center

event EWU sells the Track Improvements or permanently abandons their use as a track and  
related athletic facility within 10 years of completion

the project is not completed.

City/general public. Other joint use agreements previously approved by Council have had a

sole remedy is to terminate the Use Agreement.  
4. The City’s Risk Management Division did not review the proposed Use Agreement prior to  
filing and has concerns about the insurance requirements.  
5. Outside legal counsel has provided a legal opinion identifying issues with the use of public funds  
for this project.  
AUDITOR RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS

and 2) repayment of City funds if the project is not completed by the 9/30/28 deadline  
2. Revise the Use Agreement to:  
a. extend the term to greater than 5 years
