2010-856- Transient Vendors in Jacksonville

[Noone]

Food truck legislation today at city hall. Watercraft legislation today at city hall.

Today at the St. Johns River Alliance meeting there is discussion of a Paddling Trail of the St. Johns River Blueway. I took the opportunity to make the other 12 counties aware of 2010-856 and the transient ban and asked if other counties have a ban if a transient kayak trailer showed up. The Duval county representative made the members aware of Duval counties pending legislation.

After the meeting other county members were shaking there heads.

Lisa Rinaman showed up after the presentation and I told her that I mentioned 2010-856. She asked me if I spoke with councilman Webb and Redman. On the way back from Palatka I called and left a message for both Webb and Redman. I'll let everyone know if I get a response back. Be concerned.

3 years later. An item on the agenda for the 11/13/13 Jacksonville Waterways Commission meeting was number III Blue Way Designation Request of St. Johns River Alliance. Terra Meeks, Chief of Waterfront Management Programming.

I'll post more later but it just reinforces the total crushing of the Public Trust in Jacksonville. Paul Astleford the new guy with Visit Jacksonville is a super hero. The new guy with DIA Aundra Wallace (None of this can be pinned on you) Councilwoman Lori Boyer District 5 is just AWESOME! Duval county should be in total absolute shock. RICO guys, snap out of it.

You've got to love it when the CRA consultants use a Public comment period to tell the DIA Board members to tighten up because people go to jail. I believe this was before Aundra Wallace.

2013-384- Councilwoman Daniels are you going to attach an amendment now?

Of coarse this is all positive.

2014-665 Uber and Lyft legislation. 67 counties in Florida. Are we going to be kicking these guys out of Jacksonville like we did with the Baltimore guys from the water? 2014-412

2014-665 will be in Rules at 9 am in council chambers. Agenda meeting at 8:30 am on the 4th floor.

At the last council meeting there was a resolution in a jbill that will create an "Urban Transition Area" in Riverside. A Special Drinking Zone.

I actually see that as a good thing for the neighborhood.  North Riverside is in need of some help in order to thrive as it once did.  The Urban Transition Area has special allowances to spur commercial businesses that can create vibrancy.... much like the businesses that have made King Street a destination again.

But I think this particular bill(2010-856) really targets the transient 'vendors' that sell rugs, paintings, agricultural products, nursuries, etc on the side of the road.  'Hot Dog Cart Bill' is kind of a misleading title... unless Im not understanding the bill correctly?

"Urban Transition Area" in Riverside I still say its legislative protectionism. Any other bar in the city that wants it allow them the opportunity to do it as well.

You are absolutely right about 2010-856. Its not just a hot dog cart. In fact the scope of what constitutes a transient service is more widespread and diverse in its interpretation. Why is this being pushed NOW?

There is a JCCI study going on right now RECESSION, RECOVERY, and BEYOND. This ordinance should be part of the study. Is anyone on this forum participating in this study?

I've done two and it was horrible. Just a stab in the back to the people of Jacksonville that legislation that could have an impact on a study was acted on or introduced right in the middle of the study. This sounds exactly what is happening again. How wrong.

These studies do guide policy.

We need another round over here!
Can I get a J Bill for this?
Recently participated in the city wide Keep Jacksonville Beautiful city wide cleanup at the Beach Blvd. Boat ramp and sucking down a Sweetwater beer along with Shannon Blankenship and the Rising Tides group of the St. Johns  Riverkeeper I was talking with candidate for Dist. 4 Ramon Day who had his campaign signs out and if elected will advance my name for consideration to the Jacksonville Waterways Commission and if elected will also be creating the FOP  Friends of Pottsberg Creek.

At least three minute allotment is plenty of time to establish legal standing if needed and that is about the only cause for attending,although I see from the attendance list many must attend out of habit.


What was the vision,enabling legislation that created the Waterways Commission?
What are the accomplishments,challenges ?

Fairly recently there were discussions of the need to expand the role,'power' of the Commission.What's up with that?

OK,15 repeat pages going to blur,time for Spring Tide flush.
