The amendment was moved and seconded. Mr. Peterson explained the amendment.

CM Clark-Murray asked how DIA would determine the amount to be repaid since a portion of the loan

was forgivable. Mr. Peterson explained that the Downtown Preservation Revitalization program can

identify a percentage of funding for preservation and revitalization projects that can qualify for various

components. He said the three components included historic preservation and code compliance, both of

which are forgivable. and the deferred principal loan component, which is not forgivable. He stated that

all three work together to determine the total percentage of funding for the full project that would

qualify as forgivable. The deferred principal component allows for a 10-year repayment period that

cannot be paid off early, and the interest rate is the Treasury yield rate at the time of contract execution,

usually 3 to 4 percent.

CM Clark-Murray asked whether the project's ROI considered the amount forgiven. Mr. Peterson said it

did impact the ROI since they consider the money returned to the City. He added that the project's ROI

is less than one, which is typical for historic preservation projects, but noted that the DPRP requires an

ROI greater than 0.5.

CM Amaro asked for the project’s timeline for starting and completing. Allan DeVault, DIA, said

construction must begin within six months of contract approval and would be completed 18 months

thereafter.

CM Salem reiterated Mr. Peterson’s statement that an ROI of 0.5 or above was standard for these types

of projects.

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

CM Miller asked if the financial structure of the agreement had been voted on earlier. Mr. Peterson said

the Council approved the program, which included forgivable components, in 2022. CM Miller asked if

they had approved the structure for this project specifically. Mr. Peterson said this was a new project

and that the property was adjacent to the comparable Juliet Balcony project being completed by the

same contractor. He added that these projects were being funded by the Northbank CRA, which is why

a DIA commitment-tracking sheet was not distributed.

CM Boylan noted that the building was unremarkable and asked why it qualifies for DPRP. Mr.

DeVault said that one of the requirements for DPRP is that the building be designated a landmark by the

Historic Preservation section, which applies to this building. CM Boylan said he would not support the

bill because the cost borne by the City seemed too high.

CM Gay said he had reservations due to how much of the loan could be forgiven.

CM Miller asked for an explanation of what can be forgiven. Mr. Peterson said that if the developer

meets all the requirements in the contract, the two forgivable components are forgiven over five years at

20 percent each year. However, if at some point during that period they fall out of compliance, that

amount becomes owed to the City.

CM Amaro asked if the 20 percent amount per year led to the total amount of the agreement. Mr.

Peterson said that the 20 percent annual forgiveness over five years was part of the DPRP policy. He

said that the dollar amount was determined in a very detailed construction budget submitted to the DIA.

The DIA then applies the policy to the budget, and certain percentages must be met to qualify. The City

reimburses only up to a certain percentage, depending on the type of work.

CM Boylan asked for the impetus of the bill. Eric Fuller, Administrative Services, explained that the

legislation allows a restrictive covenant to restrict the use of groundwater and portions of the

right-of-way on Bishop Gate Lane and Lomax Street, thereby enabling regulatory closure with the

Florida Department of Environmental Protection. He said the adjacent properties would also be entering

into a restrictive covenant. He said the site had been remediated by removing over 15,000 tons of

contaminated soil, though some residual impacts on groundwater remain. CM Boylan asked if residents

are exposed to those impacts. Mr. Fuller said there was no impact.

CM Peluso explained that the bill will include the Brooklyn neighborhood in the newly created

Downtown Entertainment District, noting that the Downtown Investment Authority (DIA) and the

original bill sponsor concurred with this change. He said that there was a long-standing late-night

establishment in the neighborhood, InCahoots, whose owner had advocated for her nightclub’s inclusion

in the District. He added that the Brooklyn neighborhood was part of the DIA Overlay and said he

wanted to include this establishment, which had operated for decades. He said that he does not plan to

extend this to the Riverside area, given the character of the neighborhood.

CM Salem asked if the Downtown Entertainment District had been implemented and, if so, for how

long. Dylan Reingold, Office of General Counsel, said the bill that established the District was amended

and approved on February 24, 2026, and was signed by the Mayor about a week later, at which point it

was in effect. CM Salem said he had concerns about extended hours of operation from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m.

He felt that not enough time had passed to see the impact of the change and would like to wait before

expanding. He said he would not support the bill.

CM Clark-Murray asked if there was a requirement to contact residents in the area. Mr. Reingold said

there is no requirement to notify residents or owners since it was a change to the Ordinance Code. She

asked whether the expansion would apply to the entire neighborhood or to specific portions of it, noting

that she did not have access to a map. Mr. Reingold said the map was embedded on page 2 of the

ordinance and includes the entire Brooklyn area.

CM Peluso stated that the business was located next to a distillery, light industrial and commercial

properties, and the new Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) headquarters, and did not expect any issues

associated with the change. He said that the housing in the area was mixed-use and was generally an

urban environment. He said the business owner expected inclusion when the original bill was passed

and was disappointed when it wasn’t included.

CM Clark-Murray, after reviewing the map, said she would support the bill.

CM Miller said he would support the bill and would be paying attention to the area if it passed to ensure

there weren’t any issues. He said that the area is largely commercial, though he could see why there

would be concern about the District expanding to areas with more residential properties.

CM Gay recalled that he did not support the original bill and said he still feels it is not needed, and he

was concerned it would spread to other areas. He stated he would not support the bill.

CM Clark-Murray asked whether the amount being appropriated was the total cost to remove the vessels

and whether the owners of the derelict vessels would be penalized through taxes or fees. Melissa Long,

Chief of the Environmental Quality Division, said the money came from a grant specifically to remove

the four vessels. She said three of the owners were identified and would not be able to register any

vehicle unless they paid a fine. She added that the Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) went through

the process to identify the owner of the fourth vessel but was unable to do so.

CM Salem asked if there was an inventory of derelict vessels. Ms. Long said that if the process has

started for a vessel, the FWC has a map of those vessels. CM Salem asked for an estimate of the number

of vessels. She said she did not have an estimate and only became aware once the derelict vessel process

was complete. CM Salem asked if the vessels are above and below water. Ms. Long says that some have

sunk below the water.

CM Boylan asked for an explanation of how the Comprehensive Emergency Plan is completed and what

is different in the updated plan. Noah Ray of the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department said the

Comprehensive Emergency Plan serves as the base plan for all emergency management activities and

operations within the City. He said the plan deals with declared states of emergency and more limited

emergencies. He added that, typically, the City will reorganize under the incident command system,

with different departments and agencies assuming different roles to address different scenarios. He said

there is no latitude to make many changes to the plan because it follows a standardized national model.

He said there are 70 annexes to the plan, covering different types of emergency operations that could

occur.

The amendment was moved and seconded. Mr. Peterson explained the amendment. The amendment

passed unanimously.

Mr. Delaney from the Administration said the Administration did not support the bill. He said that if the

money is put into JSEB, they will explore how and if they can move the dollars forward. He said they

have begun to look at it but noted that JSEB is already robustly funded. He said that JSEB and small

business development are priorities for the Mayor, but they could not commit to anything if it put other

crucial programs at risk.

CM Boylan said that they had recently approved the categories for the Most Vulnerable Persons and

moved 1% across the board into the micro-grant program, which was viewed as at the expense of

supporting PSG’s work. He said he would support the bill today; however, he wanted CM Freeman to

commit to working with him to increase funding for PSG so they can maintain the $7 million for grants

and $200,000 for continuation of micro-grants.

CM Salem said he would support today but wanted to hear from CM Freeman about how it would work.

CM Miller said he would support the bill because of how long CM Freeman had been working on it.

CM Gay asked to be added as a co-sponsor. He said he trusts Director Grant to spend the money.

Mr. Delaney said that the money being moved does not necessarily mean it will be spent.
