Jacksonville\u2019s Sheriff may have been Ron DeSantis\u2019<\/strong> preference.<\/p>\n

But in a sign of the Governor\u2019s waning political capital, T.K. Waters<\/strong> isn\u2019t backing the Lt. Governor or the First Lady to replace DeSantis, instead endorsing Naples Republican Byron Donalds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Waters is just one of 15 sheriffs from around Florida backing the Congressman and Donald Trump<\/strong> pick.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sheriff T.K. Waters is endorsing Byron Donalds for Governor, signaling a shift from Ron DeSantis\u2019s influence.<\/p>\n

The endorsement is a strong indication that Jacksonville\u2019s political establishment isn\u2019t waiting for Jay Collins<\/strong> or Casey DeSantis<\/strong> to decide, betting instead on new blood that\u2019s aligned with the White House.<\/p>\n

It could also offer a glimpse into how endorsements will shift when others, such as prospective CFO candidate Kevin Steele<\/strong>, enter the race.<\/p>\n

Word on the street is Republicans aligned with former Mayor Lenny Curry<\/strong> weren\u2019t thrilled when appointed CFO Blaise Ingoglia<\/strong> said the city spent too much money during Curry\u2019s second term, during his recent declaration that the city budget is at least $200 million (or 10%) too fat.<\/p>\n

This may not affect lobbyist donations.<\/p>\n

However, the scuttlebutt suggests a potential Trump-DeSantis proxy war may unfold in purple Duval.<\/p>\n

Unfriendly skies<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA<\/strong><\/a>) seeks to ground a proposed local bill<\/strong><\/a> for state legislators to carry in 2026.<\/p>\n

But all indications are that it\u2019s ready for takeoff.<\/p>\n

JAA specifically objects to the language that would change its name to the Jacksonville Aviation and Aerospace Authority, \u201cassign authority and responsibility that already exists with JAA for the economic development of Cecil Airport,\u201d and require \u201cat least one of the Mayoral appointees and one of the Governor appointees of the JAA Board \u2018be from the aerospace or related industry.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

City Council Vice President Nick Howland<\/strong><\/a>, who is carrying the bill, has no plans to withdraw it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Nick Howland pushes a bill to change the Jacksonville Aviation Authority\u2019s name and mission.<\/p>\n

The at-large Republican says, \u201cCity Council and the Duval Delegation both recognize Cecil Field\u2019s enormous potential as a job growth engine for NE Florida. JAA owns Cecil and our J-Bill simply updates the City Charter to enumerate JAA\u2019s responsibility for Aerospace industry economic development there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Howland believes that Otto Aviation\u2019s launch at Cecil, coupled with the independent agency\u2019s strong cash position, means JAA should be more aggressive in pursuing projects at the former Naval base.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur motivation here is simple: create jobs for Jacksonville families. We have yet to figure out what JAA\u2019s motivation is,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

Per the City Council bill summary, the proposed \u201cchanges reflect JAA\u2019s unique position and responsibility to look beyond just the aviation needs of the region,\u201d given its \u201cpursuit of a Federal Aviation Administration reentry license for Cecil Spaceport at Cecil Airport, along with potential development of a \u2018space vehicle facility.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Name changes may be an emerging micro-trend<\/strong><\/a> among aviation entities in Northeast Florida.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, legislation (HB 4009<\/strong><\/a>) changing the former Northeast Florida Regional Airport<\/strong><\/a> branding to St. Augustine Airport became law with the blessing of the St. Johns County Airport Authority<\/strong><\/a>, which pushed for the change during a meeting of the county\u2019s legislative delegation<\/strong><\/a> in January.<\/p>\n

Assuming this bill proceeds, it\u2019s clear JAA won\u2019t be so enthusiastic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Comeback kid?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former state Rep. Jason Fischer<\/strong> is reportedly considering another campaign.<\/p>\n

Word on the street is Fischer, a former Duval County School Board member, may run against fellow Republican Adam Brandon<\/strong> to fill the Jacksonville City Council seat held by term-limited Michael Boylan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The could-be candidate isn\u2019t commenting, but someone connected to the Brandon campaign remarked on the \u201cinteresting\u201d rumor and wondered if Fischer would continue working as U.S. Rep. Randy Fine<\/strong>\u2019s Chief of Staff. If so, the frequent flyer miles could add up quickly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Jason Fischer reportedly considers running for City Council against the well-supported candidate, Adam Brandon.<\/p>\n

If Fischer is running, it\u2019s his first campaign since an unsuccessful run for Duval County Property Appraiser in 2023.<\/p>\n

He abandoned runs for Congress and the state Senate before that, raising questions about how much donors will invest should he run against Brandon, who has a strong resume of his own.<\/p>\n

Although Brandon is relatively new to the candidate scene, he\u2019s well-known and respected in legal and political circles statewide. Notably, Gov. Ron DeSantis <\/strong>has appointed him to the Judicial Nominating Commissions for both the 1st and 5th District Courts of Appeal.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s actively involved in a variety of local organizations, including serving as a Rotarian and a Board member of the American Red Cross-Northeast Florida Chapter.<\/p>\n

He is also a past President of the Jacksonville Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society and a past General Counsel of the Duval County Republican Executive Committee, as well as an alum of Leadership Florida, the James Madison Institute Leaders Fellowship, and the Jacksonville Regional Political Leadership Institute.<\/p>\n

House Speaker Pro Tempore Wyman Duggan<\/strong>, former Mayor Lenny Curry<\/strong>, City Council President Kevin Carrico<\/strong>, and Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters <\/strong>are among Brandon\u2019s backers.<\/p>\n

Skywalker memories<\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S. Rep. Aaron Bean<\/strong> put the Orange Park Mall in historical context at last week\u2019s 50th anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n

\u201cBean reminisced on his fun times at the mall, including the days of courting his wife and his first visit in 1977 to see \u2018Star Wars\u2019 at the movie theater,\u201d Clay Today<\/strong><\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Aaron Bean recalls seeing Star Wars in 1977 at the Orange Park Mall anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome places sell products, some places sell memories,\u201d he said. \u201cFor 50 years, Orange Park Mall has done both.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those who remember 50 years ago, there was a time when Orange Park and Regency in Arlington were destination shopping spots, as Downtown Jacksonville waned, and long before Amazon and online shopping existed.<\/p>\n

Will the mall make a comeback and thrive for another 50 years?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hope so.<\/p>\n

Housing harrumph<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mayor Donna Deegan<\/strong> didn\u2019t get the affordable housing money she wanted in last week\u2019s ratified Jacksonville budget.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Donna Deegan\u2019s affordable housing fund was cut, but Matt Carlucci secured some last-minute funding.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what didn\u2019t make the cut, per WJXT<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Local Capital Stack Fund \u2014 $1.1 million<\/p>\n

COJ Downpayment Assistance (80%-120% AMI Program) \u2014 $2 million<\/p>\n

Attainable Housing JEA Utility Tap-In Fund \u2014 $750,000<\/p>\n

Transitional Housing Pilot Program \u2014 $1 million<\/p>\n

JHA Homelessness Prevention Voucher Program \u2014 $750,000<\/p>\n

Emergency Rental Assistance and Eviction Diversion \u2014 $500,000<\/p>\n

Matt Carlucci<\/strong> managed to fund the stack partially.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt one point, I had $9 million that got whittled down to $3 million in the Finance Committee; they took that $3 million out and they cut it,\u201d Carlucci said. \u201cI made one last attempt at our marathon meeting the other night during the budget, and I was able to get in $900,000 and look \u2014 $900,000, 25-50 new affordable homes. That\u2019s better than nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Train in vain<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joe Hinrichs<\/strong> is out as the head of CSX.<\/p>\n

And Stephen Angel<\/strong> is in, according to a Monday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Will this be the beginning of greater organizational changes?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the open question after the blockbuster announcement.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Joe Hinrichs is out as head of CSX, with Stephen Angel now taking over leadership.<\/p>\n

CSX made the move Sunday, a day after Hinrich \u201cseparated from his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company\u201d and \u201cresigned from the Board effective upon his separation\u201d with \u201ca separation agreement providing for his separation benefits provided for under his employment agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The move comes as pressure has mounted on CSX to merge, an era of rail consolidation, with Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern planning<\/strong><\/a> a<\/strong><\/a> merger<\/strong><\/a> that has yet to receive federal approval.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Angel, 70, is an accomplished executive with over 45 years of experience leading large, public companies and generating strong shareholder returns. He has a long and proven track record of leading high-performing teams, fostering a collaborative culture, and driving operational excellence and growth, while maintaining disciplined capital allocation and attractive returns on capital,\u201d the SEC filing asserts.<\/p>\n

He has been the CEO and Chair of Linde, where he \u201coversaw the successful integration of Linde AG and Praxair, Inc., which created the world\u2019s largest industrial gases and engineering company.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before that, as head of Praxair, he helped \u201cguide Praxair through significant transformation while identifying and pursuing strategic growth initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marking the tail end of Hinrichs\u2019 term were activist investors<\/strong><\/a> pushing for a merger with another company, which the now-former CEO said was unnecessary.<\/p>\n

Angel comes on with a base salary of $1.5 million with possible bonuses, including $10 million of stock that will vest in three years at today\u2019s common stock price, which is roughly $35 a share at this writing.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeginning in 2026, Mr. Angel will be eligible to receive an annual long-term incentive award (an \u2018LTIP Award\u2019) under the Company\u2019s long-term incentive plans on a substantially similar basis as other similarly situated executives of the Company, with the initial grant to be made in 2026 having a grant date target value of $13,500,000. The Company will also provide Mr. Angel with corporate housing in Jacksonville, Florida, will reimburse Mr. Angel for up to $100,000 in non-refundable expenses incurred by him for personal trips canceled in 2025, and will provide up to $200,000 per year for his personal use of the corporate aircraft,\u201d a press release adds.<\/p>\n

Terminal matters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, Relay Terminals hosted Sen. Clay Yarborough<\/strong> at its Fernandina Beach facility, where company leaders and Ocean Highway and Port Authority Commissioners toured the terminal and discussed ongoing operations, future priorities and long-term growth plans.<\/p>\n

UNF to USF express<\/strong><\/p>\n

The president of the University of North Florida<\/strong><\/a> is preparing to return to the school where he served as a dean before taking the job on the First Coast.<\/p>\n

Moez Limayem<\/strong> sent an email to the UNF community announcing that he\u2019s under consideration for president of the University of South Florida<\/strong><\/a>. It was only three years ago that Limayem was appointed President of UNF.<\/p>\n

He got the job at the campus on the Southside of Jacksonville after an extended stint at the USF campus in Tampa. He was the Lynn Pippenger Dean of the Muma College of Business at USF<\/strong><\/a> for 10 years before assuming the top position at UNF in 2022.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Moez Limayem announces his departure from the University of North Florida for a USF opportunity.<\/p>\n

USF published a press release<\/strong><\/a> on Tuesday, nearly simultaneously with Limayem\u2019s announcement to the UNF community in his email.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honor for me to be considered for this role as the ninth president of USF, where I spent 10 years,\u201d Limayem said Tuesday in his message to UNF. \u201cWhile this presidential selection news is significant, I continue to cherish every moment at UNF. Working alongside our exceptional faculty and staff, and witnessing our students\u2019 growth, is incredibly fulfilling.\u201d<\/p>\n

USF officials stated that their Presidential Selection Committee recommended Limayem\u2019s return to the Gulf Coast campus. Notably, he is the only one they recommended to the school\u2019s Board of Trustees. The decision will require ultimate approval from the Florida Board of Governors.<\/p>\n

USF launched a search for a new president after Rhea Law<\/strong> announced in February that she would be retiring from the post. She agreed to stay until the college finds a replacement.<\/p>\n

Vexed vacancies<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new study of American real estate markets reveals that Jacksonville has some of the highest vacancy rates among residential properties nationwide.<\/p>\n

Florida has the top six residential real estate areas with the highest vacancies. Jacksonville came in at 8.6%. That\u2019s the sixth-highest rate of housing vacancies in the United States.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A new study reveals Jacksonville has one of the highest residential vacancy rates in America.<\/p>\n

Lance Surety Bonds<\/strong><\/a> examined both housing and commercial real estate vacancy rates nationwide and found that Florida is leading the trend of empty residential properties. The half dozen Florida markets with the most vacancies in the U.S. constitute nearly every major metropolitan area in the state, according to the study<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cape Coral and Fort Myers, with a 38.7% vacant rate of homes in their market, are among the top cities in the nation for empty properties. That\u2019s followed by another area in Southwest Florida, with North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota coming in second with 23.7% vacancies. Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater finished third in the country with a 13.3% rate of empty properties, followed by Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford at 9.5%.<\/p>\n

Lance Surety Bonds analysts compiled their list using data from the U.S.<\/strong><\/a> Census<\/strong><\/a> Bureau<\/strong><\/a> and CommercialEdge<\/strong><\/a>, a real estate firm. The study compared the 75 largest population areas of the country.<\/p>\n

The only high-population area of Florida that didn\u2019t make the top 10 cities with high residential vacancies was the Panhandle area.<\/p>\n

Putnam property preserved<\/strong><\/p>\n

Approximately 1,000 acres of environmentally sensitive land in Putnam County are now protected by the state of Florida, following a purchase orchestrated by the North Florida Land Trust (NFLT<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

The land conservation organization teamed up with the Putnam Land Conservancy<\/strong><\/a>, The Conservation Fund<\/strong><\/a> and the state of Florida to preserve 1,086 acres of property on the First Coast. The land was formerly owned by Rayonier Inc.<\/strong><\/a>, an extensive forestry and lumber company.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Allison DeFoor helped lead the successful effort to preserve over 1,000 acres in Putnam.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis acquisition is an example of how entities working together can really make a difference, and now more than 1,000 acres of land in Florida will remain natural forever,\u201d said Allison DeFoor<\/strong>, President and CEO of NFLT.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Conservation Fund stepped in when needed and quickly secured the land for preservation because they also realized it was now or never. This land will never be rooftops and will remain natural habitats where wildlife and plant species can thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The acquisition cost about $3.25 million and is being funded in a joint purchase between the NFLT, the Putnam Land Conservancy and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP<\/strong><\/a>). DEP is drawing money from the Florida Forever program<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The state has closed on the Putnam County property. It\u2019s now part of the growing Ocala to Osceola (O2O<\/strong><\/a>) wildlife corridor, which has been expanding its reach through multiple land acquisitions similar to the latest one in North Florida.<\/p>\n

Ethical excitement<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ethically minded are being encouraged to apply to be part of the Jacksonville Ethics Commission<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The city is advertising for applications to the Board that oversees ethical policy for Jacksonville City Hall and its employees. The Commission is preparing for a future vacancy on the panel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Jacksonville Ethics Commission is looking for applicants to fill a vacancy on its Board.<\/p>\n

The Ethics Commission handles complaints filed with the city\u2019s Office of Ethics, Compliance and Oversight and considers potential violations of the Jacksonville Ethics Code.<\/p>\n

The Board is accepting applications to fill the pending open position on the Board until Oct. 10 at noon. Those interested can download an application form online at the city\u2019s website<\/strong><\/a> and submit their applications via email to [email\u00a0protected]<\/strong><\/a>. Prospective candidates will be interviewed before the Nominating Committee on Oct. 7, beginning at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n

The Ethics Committee was established in 1992 by the City Council to investigate potential ethical conflicts involving city personnel and to ensure transparency in the city\u2019s open government.<\/p>\n

Hastings hangout<\/strong><\/p>\n

Residents of western St. Johns County will soon have a library of their own as construction is underway for a new facility in Hastings.<\/p>\n

The Hastings Community Center and Library<\/strong><\/a> are well underway in their construction and are expected to open in February. It\u2019s part of St. Johns County\u2019s improvement of public infrastructure and public services effort.<\/p>\n

The center will offer expanded library services, along with other amenities, meeting rooms, event spaces, and outdoor gathering areas. The county intends the facility to become a destination point.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Debra Rhodes Gibson and Brad Guagliardo discuss the new Hastings Community Center and Library.<\/p>\n

St. Johns County officials say the facility at 401 N. Main St. in Hastings will be a hub for community events, learning, creativity and a meeting place for neighbors seeking cultural opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a few months, this community will see the facility they chose, and we are more excited to bring this resource to such a great community,\u201d said Brad Guagliardo<\/strong>, St. Johns County Public Works project manager.<\/p>\n

Mural musings<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the key display areas of Jacksonville\u2019s Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA<\/strong><\/a>) will be getting a makeover that will be a work of art in itself.<\/p>\n

MOCA officials say they\u2019ll be installing their \u201cProject Atrium\u201d in the central area of the museum. It will feature \u201cmuralists in action\u201d and display works by local artists Shaun Thurston<\/strong> and Dustin Harewood<\/strong>.

Jaguars fork-in-the-road<\/strong><\/p>\n

After beating the 49ers in San Francisco on Monday, the Jaguars prepare for one of the most anticipated home games in years when they face the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football.<\/p>\n

Not only is the game generating buzz on the First Coast, but the outcome of the game could dictate the direction of the Jaguars\u2019 season.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n

The Jaguars are off to a 3-1 start for the eighth time in franchise history. Amazingly, they have made the playoffs in only four of the previous seven seasons. One of the seasons when they started 3-1 and failed to make the playoffs was 2018, when they beat the New England Patriots in the second week of the season after losing to Tom Brady<\/strong> and Co. in the AFC championship game the previous year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne prepare for a pivotal game against Patrick Mahomes\u2019 Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n

That game is the last most anticipated early regular-season matchup (the Saturday night meeting with the Tennessee Titans to determine the 2022 AFC South champion had the built-in drama of direct playoff implications).<\/p>\n

If the Jaguars can beat Patrick Mahomes<\/strong>, et al, the Jaguars would be 4-1, matching the second-best start to a season in franchise history. More immediately, they would remain in first place in the division without a game in an opponent\u2019s stadium until November. With a home game against the Seattle Seahawks and the London game against the Los Angeles Rams before the bye week, the Jaguars will play in comfortable surroundings until Week 9 of the NFL season. By then, they could be competing for playoff positioning, not just contending in the division.<\/p>\n

But can the Jaguars, a team still adjusting to a new coaching staff and a bushel of new players, contend with a team that has played in the last six conference championship games?<\/p>\n

In short, yes.<\/p>\n

When the Jaguars have been at their best this season \u2014 and it has been for stretches, not for an entire game \u2014 they have relied on the running game, defense, and special teams, without putting too much of the game on the shoulders of quarterback Trevor Lawrence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Running back Travis Etienne<\/strong> has recaptured the big-play potential he showed in his first pro season. Etienne ranks third in the NFL in rushing entering the weekend.<\/p>\n

The Jaguars\u2019 defense leads the NFL with 13 takeaways, including a league-high nine interceptions.<\/p>\n

And more importantly, Kansas City has not been as dominant this season as in past years. The Chiefs began the season with losses to the Chargers and Eagles before defeating the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens, improving their record to 2-2. Last week\u2019s win over Baltimore was the most impressive performance of the season, and Mahomes has thrown seven touchdowns and just one interception this season. He also leads the team in rushing yards.<\/p>\n

It will take the Jaguars\u2019 best game so far to beat the Chiefs. But it can be done.<\/p>\n

If the Jaguars pull it off, the season\u2019s storyline becomes very interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jacksonville\u2019s Sheriff may have been Ron DeSantis\u2019 preference.
