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.

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.
