All 19 members of the Jacksonville City Council will be formally sworn-in Thursday night, including the body’s newly elected president, Ron Salem, and vice-president, Randy White.
The Jaguars’ stadium renovations are just one of the many issues this new council will need to tackle. There’s also the roughly $1.5 billion city budget. Plus, ongoing issues like the Confederate monuments and affordable housing in Jacksonville.
Incoming council president Salem has said a priority for him is to relocate the Duval County jail from its current location on East Bay Street, a process that could take several years.“It’s an interesting combination,” Salem said. “I’m looking forward to getting those new people acclimated and training and those kinds of things so that we can get them up to speed on all the issues we’re facing.”
