The Jacksonville Aviation Authority plans to amend its fiscal year 2024-25 budget to cover emergency repairs and rebuild part of the hourly parking garage at Jacksonville International Airport after a May 16 fire caused major damage to the structure.
Sponsored by JAA, Ordinance 2025-0663 would allow the authority to use $4 million in insurance proceeds and $5.6 million from retained earnings for emergency work. Another $7.6 million would be transferred to operating capital outlay.
The ordinance was introduced at the City Council’s Aug. 26 meeting and referred to its Finance, Rules and Transportation, Energy & Utilities committees for further discussion.
