As the Jacksonville City Council weighs the proposed stadium deal between the city and Jacksonville Jaguars, team President Mark Lamping said June 13 that the Jaguars will not object if Council opts to detach a community benefits package from the agreement and vote on it separately.
Speaking during a Council workshop, Lamping said the team would prefer that Council members vote on all nine individual agreements in the deal as one. However, he said, “ultimately that decision is up to this body and we’ll respect your decision.”
Council President Ron Salem said early in the process that he would prefer to cull the $300 million community benefits agreement and consider it after Council returns from its summer break in mid-July and begins working on the city’s 2024-25 budget.
