This ordinance, Ordinance 2025-867, amends Section 122.604 of the City's Ordinance Code. It mandates that input from the Duval County School Board must be requested and considered during the development of the City's annual Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This change aims to ensure that the needs and priorities of the school district, particularly regarding projects related to pedestrian and student safety, are integrated into the City's long-term infrastructure planning. The legislation was introduced by Council Member Howland and co-sponsored by numerous other council members. It passed with unanimous approval in subsequent readings and public hearings.

This change ensures that the needs of local schools and students, particularly concerning safety and infrastructure, will be directly considered in the city's capital improvement planning process, potentially leading to improved safety measures and facilities near schools.
