The Transportation, Energy & Utilities Committee of the Jacksonville City Council convened on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 9:30 AM in the Council Chamber, City Hall, and adjourned at 9:57 AM. Chair Will Lahnen presided. All seven committee members were present: Will Lahnen, Ju'Coby Pittman, Rahman Johnson (excused late arrival), Ken Amaro, Matt Carlucci, Reggie Gaffney, Jr., and Tyrona Clark-Murray (excused late arrival).

Good morning, everyone. We'll go ahead and get started with the May 5th meeting of the Transportation Energy and Utilities Committee. Let's start off with introductions, starting with uh Mr. Delaney. Morning, Bill Delaney with the Mayor's Office. Stephen Libby, Council Research. Carla Schell, Office of General Counsel. Edward Lindsky, Council Auditor's Office. Canamar, City Council, District 1. Reggie Gaffney, Julia, City Council District 8. Jacobi Pittman, District 10. Will Lane and District 3. Matt Carlucci at large group 4. All right. Good morning, everyone. We only have three action items today. So what we're gonna do is uh we also have a presentation by the Northeast Florida Regional Council. I'm gonna have public comment first. We're gonna do the uh three action items so our uh city staff can uh can get out of here ahead of that presentation, or they're welcome to watch it as well. And then after those action items, we will uh do the presentation, which uh they're gonna have 10 minutes to present and then five minutes for uh any questions, but we can be fairly lenient on that too as well since we don't have a loaded agenda. Uh so going through the agenda item one 2026 267, we'll have a public hearing open and closed, move an amendment and take final action on that. Item two, 2026-286 will take action on as well as 2026-287. I don't expect a lot of conversation on any of those three items. So if you'll notice they've already been through other committees and all have been unanimous votes up to this point. As far as second reads, item four, 2026-317, item five, three two five, item six, three two seven, item seven, three two eight, items eight, nine, and ten, which are 329, 330, and 358 are also on second read. So with that, uh do I have any public comment cards? Okay, Mr. John Nooney, come on down. We'll have two minutes and speak to an item on the agenda. All right, two, not three minutes. Okay. All right. I am here. Okay, RD, the real doge, Ron Davis, 600 W B O B.
