The Jacksonville Beach City Council will discuss a measure to control crowds after two weeks have passed with no arrests announced in the three separate shootings in the bar district.
Local News– The Jacksonville Beach City Council voted against a proposed measure that would have put a moratorium on permits for special events and festivals for 120 days.
“Well, if things come before us, we don’t have a chance to debate it until we’re all together. So because the actions of March 17 just happened in our preliminary discussion at our council meeting on the 18th. You know, this was one of the ideas tossed around,” Hoffman said. “The actions of March 17 was not a permitted event, though.
“18 calls is nothing… total in the city, and we had a group watching them because we had our intel analysts with a computer find the flier which FHP, JSO, and FDLE did not find when they scrubbed their intel,” Smith said.“I am 20 officers down as of today out of 67. So showing force is fine but I have to have some help. I can’t do this with 40 people,” he said.
