Summary
Ordinance 2026-118, introduced by Council Member J. Carlucci, proposes the appropriation of $250,000 from the Southside Tennis Complex account to the Council District 05 Contingency account, reflecting an adjustment in the city’s budget for the fiscal year 2025-2026. This adjustment returns a portion of funds that were initially allocated from the Council District 5 Community Benefits Agreement account. The District 5 Council Member plans to redirect these funds towards other community priorities. Additionally, this ordinance amends the 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Plan to incorporate the changes. It requires a two-thirds majority vote due to its regulatory implications, emphasizing the importance of strategic fund allocation for community benefits in Jacksonville.
