If you’re looking for hot-button issues, you likely won’t find them at Tuesday night’s Jacksonville City Council meeting. As the Finance Committee works through the budget in all-day sessions ahead of the Sept. 21 Council meeting, those on hand in Council Chambers will hear debates on a number of uncontroversial measures.
The handful of third-reading ordinances include an appropriation of $1.8 million for petroleum cleanup from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Inland Protection Fund, a $50,000 appropriation from a Jacksonville Veterans Resource & Reintegration Center Grant to buy a new van for veterans services, and appropriations for transitional housing for the homeless, affordable housing for low income individuals and families, and for rental housing assistance for people living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
Florida Politics will be on hand at the agenda meeting at 4 p.m. to see whether anything is added.
