Waterways Commission approves minutes, notes consent-agenda ordinance and hears public comments on local waterways
Summary
The commission approved minutes, recorded that ordinance 202600032 passed on the city consent agenda, adopted ordinance 202600096 by voice vote, and heard public comments urging attention to George Crady Bridge and local waterway permitting and funding.
With quorum established, the Jacksonville Waterways Commission approved the meeting minutes by voice vote and acknowledged several items on the city consent agenda that had passed at the previous night's council meeting. Chair noted ordinance 202600032 had passed unanimously on the council consent agenda and the commission later recorded a motion and a voice vote carrying ordinance 202600096.
During public comment, John J. Nooney (District 4) called attention to multiple council and grant items affecting local waterways and urged coordination on permitting agreements; Latrice Bell spoke for the George Crady Bridge fishing-pier community and asked commissioners and the mayor to visit the site in person, saying visitors are disappointed when only part of the bridge access is open.
On old business, Council Member Gay reported the city's overdue payment related to the George Crady Bridge had been misrouted to an ex-employee and that the mayor's office had located the problem and planned to send the payment to clear the outstanding issue. Gay said he would pursue coordination with the Duval delegation on longer-term solutions.
No additional formal votes or ordinance adoptions were recorded beyond the minutes approval and the ordinance action noted earlier. The commission closed by discussing next steps for informational briefings and outreach work and then adjourned.
