Dear Friends of River Garden,

The 2018 River Garden Foundation Gala was a huge success! Almost 600 guests enjoyed fabulous cocktails, a great silent auction, dinner, dancing and entertainment galore. Along with the great sounds of the All In One Band, we were enthralled with the talents of our friends from Bittersweet Studios…ladies on silks and lyra swinging in the air, a stilt walker, magician, juggler and contortionist...there was something for everyone. Even late night champagne, dessert and pizza! All our guests left with cotton candy and popcorn. We danced until 12:30a.m.

What more could you want? A huge profit. We are very excited to announce that

A Night Under The Big Top

netted a BIG $243,005.61

which is the highest ever!

(Imagine almost a quarter of a million dollars…anyone have an extra $7,000 they need to donate this year?)

Thank you to everyone who helped make this evening a wonderful success. Special thanks to our tireless Chairs Rachel and Colman Brodsky, our amazing committee and volunteers. Big thanks to Premier Gala Sponsor, SunTrust Bank, all our sponsors, donors and guests for making this evening possible. Thank you to everyone for helping to make the lives of all those at River Garden special.

Subject: Review of 2045 Socio-Economic Data For your review, the draft 2045 MAZ file is located on our ftp site under the MAZ folder. http://northfloridatpo.com/cgi-bin/firstcoastmpoftp.cgi?action=listfiles&path=MAZ   Password – FL602pub This file includes the following data:

2045 MAZ Draft shapefile (zipped) MAZ Draft .xlsx Sample Worksheet Template ( Changes for TEST CASE.xlsx) NAICS to Employment.xlsx MicroCodedHnet.net – 2015 Base Year only 12/5/18 Presentation

We have provided a microzone shapefile with TAZs, households, employment, enrollment and parking. Please review your planning area and record edits of land use data, remember the number of zones is fixed. I suggest you begin with the most important locations and revise until differences are less significant. Provide a log of any changes with the location by December 24.

I have also provided the 2015 highway network for your review. Please log any network revisions with the location by December 24. Here are instructions for filling in the worksheet and or the shape file. The instructions for filling in the spreadsheet:

1. Change the workbook name to have your county, e.g. “Changes for Duval County.xlsx”

2. Each new change should have a new number in the Change# column

3. When entering a number, enter the number it should be, not the change. E.g. if changing the number of office employees from 600 to 200, enter 200 and not -400

7

4. Write the related parcel ID number(s) or TAZ number in the parcel ID column. If it’s a TAZ, write “TAZ” before the number

If you prefer to do your edits in the shp file directly:

1. Add a short integer field called ChangeNum with default value of 0

2. Add a text field with maximum character length called Notes

3. Anytime you change something in the shp file, put a unique integer (1, 2, 3,) in the ChangeNum field and explain the change in the Notes field.

4. If you want to give a longer explanation than will fit in the notes field, put a unique number in the

ChangeNum field, and put the corresponding number in the changes worksheet, then write as much as you need to.

When done, create a folder with your name on it in the ftp site above and upload all files to this folder Thank you, Milton Milton R. Locklear Jr., AICP North Florida TPO mlocklear@nortfloridatpo.com P (904) 306-7503 980 North Jefferson Street Jacksonville, FL32209  .

Florida League of Cities chips in $25K for Michael relief Florida Politics The Florida League of Cities announced Wednesday that it will make a $25,000 donation to support the post-Hurricane Michael relief effort in Northwest Florida. “It’s been two months since Hurricane Michael made landfall, but many of our cities are still dealing with the destruction the storm left behind,” said League president and Bartow Mayor Leo E. Longworth. “These municipalities need help, and the Florida League of Cities is here to link arms with those communities and support them in every way we can.” The League said the donation will head to REBUILD 850, a coalition of private businesses, citizens and philanthropists spearheaded by former House Speakers Will Weatherford and Allan Bense.

State News

Editorial: Florida Legislature sloughing responsibilities onto locals Tampa Bay Times Floridians were bombarded before this year’s election with mailers and television ads portraying the Republican-led Legislature as a staunch advocate for schools, transportation and other essential public services. In reality, state lawmakers have been bleeding local governments for decades - sweeping dedicated funding away from state obligations and forcing local communities to tax themselves to plug the budgetary gap. It's a fundamental cost shift that highlights the Legislature's hypocrisy and the importance of demanding state lawmakers be more accountable when they meet next spring. Source

Florida Senate bill that could usher more beds of beets revives home rule debate Orlando Sentinel More mushrooms? A proposed bill in the Florida Senate could usher in more beds of beets at homes statewide by barring local governments from regulating vegetable gardens. It would create a Catch-22 for cities such as Orlando, where city officials bristle at preemptive moves from Tallahassee and are looking to expand urban agriculture. City officials said this week they plan to oppose the legislation (SB 82) because it flies in the

10

face of home rule, which allows local governments to chart their own course. Orlando may argue for the city’s existing ordinance to be grandfathered into the proposed bill. “We believe these decisions are best made locally,” assistant city attorney Kyle Shepherd said. Source

Miami mayor named to the National League of Cities housing task force Miami's Community Newspapers Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has been appointed to the National League of Cities’ Task Force on Housing, a group tasked with addressing how communities can better respond to the growing challenge of housing availability, investment and quality. “I am honored to be selected as part of the National League of Cities’ Task Force on Housing. Being part of these initiatives is instrumental in our ongoing efforts to address our affordable housing crisis,” Suarez said. “Part of what will make us a model for resiliency is our ability to provide housing to residents of all income levels. This Task Force will help us continue building upon innovative and comprehensive housing solutions that will enhance our residents’ quality of life,” he added. The task force is under the leadership of NLC president Karen Freeman-Wilson, mayor of Gary, IN, and chaired by Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser.

After all, before he was elected to the commission in 2017, Morgan — a sculpted, 320-pound giant with close cropped hair — drew crowds around the world for more than a decade as a WWE superstar wrestler known as “The Blueprint.” Source Nelda Fields: Half a centrury working for Panama City Beach Panama City News Herald Those who meet Nelda Fields for the first time might be pardoned for failing to recognize her unique status and legendary record in the Beach’s history.

And in her other fulltime job, as an information services staffer assisting newly arrived tourists at Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, Nelda Fields is the smiling face behind the counter who can direct you to your hotel or condo and supply you with a fistful of brochures on the sights and activities awaiting you during your stay at the Beach.

The eight-week course will have spring and fall sessions.

Source To Fight Blight, One City Turned to Courts Governing The battle against blight has been waged by city officials around the nation for the last several decades. Vacant homes and decrepit properties can be magnets for crime, and they can devalue the neighborhoods around them. St. Petersburg, Fla., may have come up with an innovative way to address blight, one that merges the power of the courts with the private sector. In 2014, the city became the first in Florida to use the judicial system to wrestle neglected properties away from their owners. Because the properties, which numbered nearly 800 across the city, owed a combined $4 million in liens and unpaid assesments, the city had legal standing to file lawsuits against the owners and move the properties into foreclosure. In most cases, the properties had essentially been abandoned by absentee owners, what are commonly called "zombie properties." Source

Port Orange City Councilman Bob Ford dies at 74 Daytona Beach News-Journal Councilman Bob Ford died Saturday surrounded by family after his latest battle with cancer. He was 74. “A memorial service will be held at a future date,” said Ford’s wife, Marilyn Ford, in a text message to city leaders. “The family appreciates the support and prayers of friends and requests privacy at this time.” Ford, often the voice of opposition on the Port Orange City Council in his eight years in office, was a strong advocate for transparency and fiscal responsibility in government. Recruited from New York by former, longtime city manager Ken Parker in 1986 to run the police department, Ford gave more than 30 years of service to the City of Port Orange. He also taught criminal justice at University of Central Florida. Source

Mayors from South Florida spread message of kindness Cape Coral Daily Breeze Leaders across Florida have joined a grassroots movement to inspire kindness on social media. The Be Kind movement, which began when artist Gini Bonnell handpainted a sign for her front yard in Richmond, Virginia, has spread across the country.

Battling ‘bundled’ ballot measures: Some Florida lawmakers want to prevent it from happening again WTSP If you supported a ban on offshore drilling, you had to support a ban on indoor vaping in the workplace because the two unrelated issues were lumped into the same proposed Constitutional amendment. "Bundled" ballot measures were a big deal during Florida’s November election, forcing voters to choose several, unrelated proposals that were lumped together into single Constitutional amendments. There were several other amendments that combined multiple issues under a single, all-or-nothing vote. Those "bundled" amendments were placed on the ballot by the Constitutional Revision Commission—a powerful, 37-member appointed panel which meets once every 20 years. Three amendments were unsuccessfully challenged in the Florida Supreme Court. But now there’s a bi-partisan effort in Tallahassee to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Two similar proposals (SJR 76 and 84) on the Jan. 7 Senate Judiciary Committee agenda would require future state Constitutional amendment proposals to “embrace but one subject.” Source STATE FIGHTS RULING ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAW News Service of Florida

Defending a 2017 law that set regulations for the state’s medical-marijuana industry, Florida Department of Health attorneys have asked an appeals court to overturn a circuit judge’s ruling that they say “injected confusion and uncertainty” into the licensing of marijuana firms. The closely watched case centers on whether a law passed during a 2017 special legislative session violated a constitutional amendment that broadly legalized medical marijuana. Leon County Circuit Judge Charles Dodson in October found the 2017 law unconstitutional and issued a temporary injunction requiring state health officials to begin registering the plaintiff, Tampa-based Florigrown, and other medical-marijuana firms to do business. But in a 41-page brief filed last week at the 1st District Court of Appeal, Department of Health attorneys argued that Dodson’s temporary injunction should be tossed out and that the 2017 law is constitutional in the way it regulates medical-marijuana treatment centers, as marijuana firms are called.

Beach helping Beach: Panama City Beach opens the door to donate 1/2 cent revenue to Mexico Beach Panama City News Herald Call it a $1.2 million Christmas present, from one Beach community to another. During an informal discussion of the staggering costs that other Bay County municipalities face as they struggle to recover from Hurricane Michael, Panama City Beach Mayor Mike Thomas on Thursday turned to his fellow Beach councilmen and suggested a unique act of generosity to help the residents of Mexico Beach. Bay County officials are working to fast-track a provision to impose an emergency ½-cent sales tax that will generate additional revenue to help with storm recovery efforts. Should the Florida Legislature grant the county authority to proceed with the plan, and local governments ratify it, officials estimate that Panama City Beach would receive an additional $1.2 million in revenues. But since the revenue distribution is based on population size, Mexico Beach would get only $106,000, said Beach spokeswoman Debbie Ward. Thomas told his colleagues that since Panama City Beach suffered relatively little storm damage, and actually benefited economically from the influx of first responders and contractors to the city’s hotels and condominiums, it would be fitting to donate the additional sales tax revenue to help storm-ravaged Mexico Beach. Noting that Christmas is just days away, Thomas said, “Mexico Beach needs a present.” Source City of Green Cove Springs searches for new clerk Clay Today City clerks wear a lot of hats. They need to know how to build and maintain relationships, they review city contracts and they possess an in-depth knowledge of a city and how it functions in public and private. And they deal with mountains of paperwork. Following the retirement of City Clerk Julie Clevinger, the search is on for a new city clerk in Green Cove Springs. Human Resources Director Mary Jane Lundy said advertisements were posted last week, and the city has received a substantial number of applications. The city clerk position is under the direction of the city manager and offers a salary range of $56,828.48 to $90,646.58. Lundy said staff would screen applicants and recommend candidates to the council, preferably at the Jan. 8 council meeting. Council members appoint the city clerk, according to the charter. Clevinger started with city in 2000, and retired Nov. 14. She began as city clerk in January 2015. Executive Assistant Kimberly Morgan has been Interim City Clerk since July.

Crystal River’s pay stations raked in another record haul from city park visitors and boat launchers this year. For the 2017-18 fiscal year, the city’s five parking meters at its two parks and two boat ramps collected $125,525 in revenue between Oct. 1, 2017 and Sept. 30, 2018. Minus $67,843 in expenses for city park staff pay and operations, Crystal River made out with $57,682 in net profits, which will be invested back into city parks, according to the city. Last fiscal year, the city took in $116,290 and kept $55,871.92 in net profits from its parking meters at Hunter Springs Park and Kings Bay Park, and its boat-launch meters at Pete’s Pier Pier and within the Dockside Shoppes plaza. Assistant City Manager Brown “Jack” Dumas said he and staff have been surprised at the rate of compliance since the city installed the meters in December 2015.

South Florida cities condemn Airbnb's policy regarding Israeli settlement homes in the West Bank

22

Sun Sentinel South Florida municipalities have passed resolutions condemning the hospitality company Airbnb's recently announced policy to exclude Israeli settlement homes in the West Bank from its listings. The first local municipality to do so was the Town of Surfside when its commission voted 5-0 to adopt a resolution that was introduced by Vice Mayor Daniel Gielchinsky. Gielchinsky noted that Surfside signed an agreement governing the collection of resort taxes with Airbnb, and that town investigated whether the company's recent conduct of removing rental listings in the West Bank violates the town's anti-BDS [Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel] ordinance and whether grounds exist to terminate its relationship with the company. The commission declared that the company is in default of its contract with the town since it prohibits Airbnb from enacting what the commission feels is a discriminatory boycott. The resolution also condemns Airbnb for what the town commission feels is an anti-Semitic policy of discrimination against Jewish property owners in the West Bank of Israel and urges Airbnb to reconsider its policy and abandon this policy.

New affordable housing comes to Liberty City The Miami Times For 2019, Miami is set to fight flooding and sea-level rise, improve roads and develop affordable housing strategies via a general obligation bond. Last Wednesday, the Miami City Commission announced it is ready to launch the first phase of projects funded by the Miami Forever general obligation bond, approved by voters in November 2017. The city will invest a total of $400 million in various projects focused on sea-level rise and flood prevention, roadway improvements, affordable housing, parks and cultural facilities and public safety. The first set of shovel-ready projects are set to begin, said Miami Mayor, Francis Suarez. “We want the city to be around forever,” Suarez said. “we want to be the most resilient city in the world.” The city is bonding out about 15 percent, or $58 million, of the total funds for shovel-ready projects, the mayor said. “These are projects that we have already been working on and we are getting ready to get started in delivering.” Source Miami Launches First Phase Of $400 Million Forever Bond Program WLRN The city of Miami announced on Tuesday more than 30 new public infrastructure projects, the initial phase of a multi-year plan to increase the supply of affordable housing, quell flooding and make other city improvements. Funded by a $400 million municipal bond, the initiative includes redeveloped waterfronts along Brickell Bay Drive and the Miami River, renovated playgrounds in Overtown and Allapattah and new housing in Liberty City. The $58 million plan represents the first use of the bond, which voters approved during the November 2017 election. “These projects will have an immediate impact,” said Mayor Francis Suarez who has overseen the initiative since succeeding Tomas Regalado, an original proponent of the plan. “We often talk about making Miami the most resilient city in the world. Today proves...that we’re committed to taking the necessary steps to make that goal a reality." Source

FLORIDA MINIMUM WAGE SET FOR INCREASE News Service of Florida Minimum-wage workers in Florida will get a little more in their paychecks in 2019. The state’s minimum wage will be $8.46 an hour as of Tuesday, up from $8.25 an hour in 2018, according to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. The minimum wage for tipped employees will be at least $5.44 an hour, up from $5.23 an hour in 2018. Florida voters in 2004 approved a constitutional amendment establishing a state minimum wage that is higher than the federal minimum wage. The state minimum wage increases because it is tied to inflation. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. Source

The Trickle-Down Impacts of the Federal Shutdown on States and Localities Route Fifty While some states are already ponying up to keep national parks open during the partial government shutdown, the trickle-down effect on local and state governments could be felt more intensely in the days to come if federal agencies remain closed for an extended period of time. The first few days of the latest shutdown—prompted by President Trump’s insistence that a temporary budget deal passed by Congress contain funding for a wall on the Mexico border—occurred during the weekend and Christmas holiday. For some states where national parks are major tourist attractions, this closure during a family vacation time meant the need to cover for the absence of park employees, as the Department of the Interior is one of the agencies closed in the shutdown. Source Signs Point to Extended Shutdown With No Deal Emerging Government Executive Congressional negotiators and the White House remained at a standstill during the sixth day of a partial government shutdown that has sent home hundreds of thousands of federal employees without the promise of retroactive pay. Lawmakers appeared to make no progress toward reopening the slew of agencies that have been shuttered since Friday evening, with both sides refusing to flinch in their demands. President Trump continued to blame Democrats for declining to provide what he views as adequate funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, and Democrats—who will take control of the House next week—steadfastly calling the proposal wasteful and unnecessary.
