Jax Yacht Charters Reimbursement Grant

At a glance

• What: Ordinance 2026-0721 would have approved an economic development agreement with Jax Yacht Charter, Inc. and a reimbursement grant of up to 70,000 dollars (from the Royal Princess reimbursement grant fund) for repairs and maintenance to a Coast Guard licensed vessel moored downtown, with a waiver of the Public Investment Policy.
• Where it stands: failed on third reading on 2026-10-13, 1-14, with only Pittman in favor. The captions report that Clark-Murray said it had failed in nearly every committee and that staff said a funding-source problem would remain even if it passed.
