Section 11.15. Proviso regarding Carts.
The budget is appropriating $3.8 million to purchase 75,000 Carts for the citizens of Jacksonville within Service Area III currently under an agreement with Advanced Disposal Services (ADS). The Carts are needed for automated recycling services to begin. This appropriation is contingent on the enactment of 2015-477, which grants ADS permission to automate their territory.
Section 11.16. Proviso for 2% salary increase.
The Council’s intent is to appropriate $737,000 towards a line item in the budget for salary restoration for those employees not covered by collective bargaining and who were affected by the 2% reduction that took effect in the 2010/2011 budget and who have not received full restoration since the reduction in 2010. It is in the intent of Council for these funds to be appropriated to the aforementioned class effective as of October 1, 2015. The 2015-16 budget allocates sums for salary increases for collective bargaining units; therefore those employees will be addressed through collective bargaining.
Section 11.17. Transferring all funds not appropriated from the Soutel/Moncrief CRA Fund to a Special Council Contingency.
