Jacksonville asks for $707 million from federal economic stimulus package - Jacksonville Business Journal:

8511ysu.blogspot.com
The city is asking for the fundingt ofabout $707.5 million worthu of projects through President-electg Barack Obama’s stimulus package. The wish which is one of more than 600 listss presented bycity includes: $86 million to help build the new Duvalo County Courthouse. $119 million to build the Greenlan Energy Center and a switching stationfor city-ownef utility . Nearly $160 million to expand and improve JEA’s watetr reclamation and distribution system. Even after meetinhg Obama and chatting with one of hiseconomicc advisers, Mayor John Peyton said it is still unclear how the incoming administration will choose which project to fund and how the funding will be delivered.
The city won’t be required to pay the federal government back forthe “They want projects that are shovel-ready and legacyg projects, which means they will make a differencde to the community,” Peytonh said. Projects have to be ready to begin withinn 90 to 120 days to receive fundinyg through thestimulus package. He said it isn’rt clear how the administration plans to make sure that the stimulusepackage doesn’t include pork especially since “the vision of pork is in the eye of the The stimulus plan will range from $700 billion to $1.2 trilliojn and it’s not clear when it will be finalized, Peyton said.
About 640 city mayoras have submitted morethan 15,220 projects that require $96.6 trillioj in funding, according to the United States Conference of Mayors. The city’as wish list doesn’t include projectd that would improve the infrastructure around the port becausw no such projects are readu to begin within 90 to 120 Because Obama is pushing environmentallyfriendly projects, Peytom hopes the courthouse will have an edge since its desigh will meet the ’s Leadership in Environmeng and Energy Design requirements.
Watere treatment and power plant projects have the best chancs of receiving funding because the Obama administratio is more concerned with creating jobs thanbuilding infrastructure, said Deniser Bunnewith, executive director of the . Another possibls advantage: Federal funding of city projectws could free up spendingfor port-relate d projects, Bunnewith said.

Metro councilors Rod Park and Rex Burkholder will introducer a measure next week givingh the council authority over individuals who lead the Metropolitan ExpositionRecreation Commission. The motiobn comes after Metro Council Presidenf David Bragdon criticized the performance of MERC General ManagerDavid Woolson. Councilors want to oversee the hiring, salary changes and employment statusof MERC’s top executive, according to a lettet Park and Burkholder sent to Don who chairs the commission.
Trotter and otherd commissioners currently oversee the position and have given Woolson good markse during his first three job The council will consider the motionh at its June 11 In a March 31 lettedr to the commission regardingthe group’s budgey requests, Bragdon questioned both Woolson’s leadership as well as the agency’xs higher budgets. Woolson’s office spent $470,568u during the 2007-08 fiscal year. The number jumped to $838,803 for the current year. Woolson requested $877,808 for the 2009-10 fiscal year.
However, in a letter datede March 12, 2009 to Bragdon from Metro finance and administrative servicesz directorMargo Norton, Woolson says the cost increases are "primarilu the result of a reorganization of the publidc affairs function and the cost and creatioj of a business development capability." MERC's public affairs manager and public affairas coordinator were "reclassified" to a director of communicationsa and a director of business and community development. Woolsonn goes on to state that additional resources for goods and servicees for the positionsincluded "advertising, consulting, sponsorships...
and other generapl office expenses in order to have a more effectiv effort in this area." In the same Woolson says the numbers alone don't pain t an accurate picture because of unfilled positionsa in earlier budgets. Bragdon also said Woolson movef his office downtown and boosted consultin travel costs and other expenses last He alsocollected “larges raises” that, by increasing his salary to $184,000, make him more highlh paid than his predecessors. MERC moved downtown from the convention centerlast year. It occupies space in the Portlan Center for thePerforming Arts, 1111 S.W.
MERC, which operates the building, pays no rent for the One of theMERC Commission's goalse was to increase the organization'sd downtown presence. MERC's board approved Woolson's pay raises. The boards said last year thatWoolson “has accomplisherd (an) enormous amount of work and inspired He has quickly detected problems and has move to alleviated or fix (sic).
