Sec. 117.110. - Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) Grants.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Chapter, or otherwise set forth in the Ordinance Code, the City of Jacksonville shall not apply for any Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) grant without first securing a resolution of support and approval from the City Council, which resolution shall be submitted with the grant application, or in accordance with FIND requirements. Should the amount appropriated by Council for FIND grant match funding in the annual budget or through other legislative action for a particular fiscal year exceed the match amount that is required by FIND or other State regulations to be made available by the City, this fact shall be disclosed by the Mayor to the Council in writing within 14 days from receipt of communication of final annual award from FIND. Any excess FIND grant match funding shall remain in the FIND grant contingency to be spent within the current fiscal year on construction/improvement, maintenance or repair projects that benefit access to public waterways within the City (such as docks (including repairs), boat launches, ramps and bulkheads). Within 30 days of such notification, the Administration shall submit an ordinance to Council, for Council approval, with a list of proposed projects that will be completed with the excess funding.
