City Council agenda

Jacksonville's City Council meets at 5 p.m. today at City Hall, 117 W. Duval  St. These are some of the items the council is scheduled to consider.

Issue: City Hall parking

What it means: The council will vote on a bill that combines  several changes to parking around City Hall. The bill would pay from a council  account for council members to park in leased spaces at the St. James Building  garage. It would also let residents park for $2 at a nearby garage to attend  council events and install four-hour meters by City Hall.

Bill No.: 2012-215

Issue: Capital plan changes

What it means: The council will consider requiring a  two-thirds majority vote to add or remove capital projects (things like roadwork  or parks) outside of the city's normal yearly planning cycle.

Bill No. 2012-198

Issue: Waterway projects

What it means: The council will vote on applying for grants  from the Florida Inland Navigation District that would split the costs of some  projects with the state. The deal commits the city to spending $402,000 for  Mayport dock construction and $125,000 for Pottsburg Creek dredging designs but  rejects plans for dredging near the zoo and a Northbank Riverwalk project  involving a kayak launch and pedestrian bridge.

Bill No.: 2012-273
