QuoteStalled legislation that would waive some developer fees to help Jacksonville’s construction industry is resurfacing after critics and backers accepted compromises suggested by a City Council member.
Three council committees are scheduled to meet jointly Monday to debate a new version of a bill (2013-94) that had divided people involved in development and groups who want bicycle and pedestrian facilities the fees help pay for.
Councilman Richard Clark had originally proposed a three-year waiver of the city’s “mobility fee,†which charges fees from developers based on how each project is expected to affect roads and other transportation systems in their part of town.
I made all the last rounds, but unfortunately I can not make this one. I have emailed though.
Too quick of a meeting notice for me to switch my schedule. However, MJ will have someone there to live blog I believe.
The last time the joint committee met on the mobility fee, council members debated and questioned staff and a representative from each side but did not accept public comment.
