That money will be reinvested into areas like city maintenance and community development.
• $660,000 to increase the frequency of maintain right of ways.
• $300,000 for streetlight activation to restore the lighting-related cutbacks in last year's budget.
• $89,500 to reimburse JSO police officers for job-related educational expenses.
• $430,000 invested in housing, retail and commercial development in the Soutel/King area in NW Jacksonville.
• $67,000 focused on increasing employment and recruiting businesses at JIA.
City Council must approve the Mayor's proposal.
