Today City Council President-Designate Daniel Davis announced that he has decided to cancel plans to host a privately funded reception at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium immediately following this year's City Council Installation Ceremony. Plans for the ceremony itself remain unchanged. Private contributions collected to date will be used to offset costs associated with the ceremony.

Council President-Designate Daniel Davis today annouced the committee assignments for the Council Year 2007-2008. The committee structure for the upcoming year will consist of the following Standing Committees: Finance; Land Use and Zoning; Public Health and Safety; Rules; Transportation, Energy and Utilities; and Recreation and Community Development.

The Jacksonville City Council now maintains on-line access to the most current version of the Council Rules. Ordinance 2007-279-E was introduced by Council Member Lad Daniels at the request of the Director/Council Secretary Cheryl L. Brown and provides for the publishing of the Council Rules on the City Council website at www.coj.net.
