Jacksonville Amends DIA Board Quorum to Majority of Seats, Minimum Four

This ordinance modifies Section 55.107 of the City of Jacksonville Ordinance Code to update the quorum requirement for the Downtown Investment Authority Board. Under the new rule, quorum is defined as a majority of seated members excluding any vacant seats, but no fewer than four members. Tie votes on agenda items will result in the matter being continued to the next meeting. The amendment clarifies board voting procedures, codifies the minimum number of members required for official action, and streamlines decision-making by reducing the risk of stalemates caused by vacancies. It authorizes the codifier and General Counsel to make editorial updates to the code’s chapter and division tables of contents for consistency with this change.
