Mobile Advertising Ordinance.
- Mark Stephens spoke about this. A gentleman spoke several months ago and there were no current ordinances in place. He took the Clark County, where Las Vegas is in, as a model because he had difficulty locating ideas to model after. The ordnance is broken down for advertising purposes and entertainment purposes. This also adds to the existing food truck ordinances. This will be reviewed and added to the next agenda. Mr. Stephens also noted that not all the proposed idea was from Clark County. They also took more local ordinances that prohibited it and worked backward.
Public Safety Pond.
- Mr. Stevens did receive a draft report. The senior engineer has been in the hospital with COVID so they sent a draft version just to have something to review. He also requested to wait for the final to share with the council.
Architect Discussion.
- The Mayor did note that he had spoken to Bill Whitaker and he expected a 50% draft submitted this week. Mr. Whitaker also requested a sit down to review it.
Any other business.
- Tony Taylor asked about the hazard mitigation on the agenda. He wanted to confirm this is a renewable item. It was confirmed it is renewed every five years.
- The Mayor also noted the dumpster is on the agenda and he wanted to noted that the city will be running the sewer line to the sewer trap. That is not included in the price.
- He also noted couple of changes made to the unmanned items. They are very minor and only suggestions.
- Gail DaParma spoke about Great Things in Jacksonville. She wanted to give an update on what was accomplished this past year. One of the main things was the historic signs. The are also making a database of all the signs. They had a total of 39 volunteer age range from 8-78. The database will be part of the cultural tourism project. She has also asked for some sort of city recognition for the volunteers. The next project discussed was the Pokemon that has been an event that is really popular and looked forward to. It gives another outlet for kids and families. This event is hoping to expand it and create a tournament. This could be a benefit for the city. The mural program is still ongoing and hoping to move forward with artist soon. Also the they are working with JSU to write a strategic plan. This will also include the QR program. There was also a suggested list that residents have suggested as possible ideas to include on QR code. That would cost about $25 per location.
