A look at some of the issues Jacksonville’s City Council considered at its  meeting Tuesday:

Issue: City Hall parking

What it means: The council voted 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

Action: Approved

Issue: Capital plan changes

What it means: The council considered requiring a two-thirds majority vote to add or remove capital projects (things like roadwork or parks) from the city’s capital outside of the city’s normal yearly planning cycle. Members seeking mid-year changes would also have to explain why waiting for the yearly cycle would be harmful to the city’s interest.

Bill No. 2012-198

Action: Approved

Issue: Council contract approval

What it means: Members voted on requiring council approval of any contract to  manage city-owned  sports or entertainment venues. General Counsel Cindy  Laquidara said that couldn’t be enforced on a contract where bids have already  been sought.

Bill No.: 2012-316

Action: Approved
