TEU Committee approves air-monitoring appropriation, well-permitting agreement and two emergency items
Summary
The Duval County Transportation, Energy and Utilities Committee on Feb. 18 approved an ordinance to replace ambient air monitoring equipment, a well-permitting agreement with the St. Johns River Water Management District, and two emergency items — including an FDOT deadline and an amended project listing for the North Florida TPO.
The Duval County Transportation, Energy and Utilities Committee voted on several ordinances and emergency items during its Feb. 18 meeting, approving funding for air-monitoring equipment, a well-permitting agreement, and two emergency actions tied to transportation project deadlines.
The committee passed ordinance 20260064, an appropriation of $180,000 from the air-pollution fund to replace ambient air monitoring equipment. The chair noted the air-pollution fund still had "about 300 some odd thousand" on hand and that the appropriation met the fund's restricted uses. The motion passed by recorded vote, 6 yays, 0 nays.
The committee also approved ordinance 20260066, a well-permitting agreement between the city and the St. Johns River Water Management District. That motion passed on a recorded vote, 6 yays, 0 nays.
Officials treated two items as emergencies and approved them in the meeting. Item 20260099 was read and moved as an emergency; committee staff said the urgency was that "the agreement needs to be approved and sent to the FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) by the end of the month." The committee approved the emergency item by voice and recorded a 7–0 vote.
Item 20260113 was considered as an emergency as amended. Staff explained the amendment "attaches a revised project listing to correct Scribner's and other technical changes throughout the document" so the listing could be submitted to the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) before that body's final project approvals. The committee moved the ordinance as an emergency as amended and recorded a 7–0 vote.
Items 20260096 and 20260098 were noted as second readings and were not finalized at this meeting.
What happens next: emergency items tied to FDOT and the North Florida TPO will be forwarded as described by staff; ordinances adopted by the committee will proceed through the council's remaining steps as required. The committee recorded final tallies for the voted items in the meeting minutes.
