The committee discussed insurance coverage for the ferry operation. Twane Duckworth, the Citys Risk Manager, said that Hornblower currently has liability insurance in force in the amount of $2 million per incident, with a $14 million umbrella policy. The coverage seems adequate, although he is concerned about the physical condition of some of the ferry infrastructure, particularly the ferry slips. Lindsey Brock, a maritime attorney, said that the Ferry Commission can utilize the federal Limitation of Liability Act to limit its liability for catastrophic loss incidents. He also recommended that the City do a title search on the ferry vessel to be sure there arent any liens before it takes over the operation. The Coast Guard will also require a vessel transfer certificate and expects to see the standard form used. Mr. Brock will offer his services on a pro bono basis to help facilitate the transactions. In response to a question from Commissioner Buchanan about possible over-insurance if the City can limit its liability under federal law, Mr. Brock and Mr. Duckworth said they would meet to review that issue. Commissioner Brown expressed her opposition to letting the JPA retain ownership of the ferry office/warehouse parcel in Mayport, stating that the building has always been associated with the operation of the ferry and should be transferred to the ownership of the new operator. Dave Kauffman of Jaxport stated that the parcel in JPAs hands would continue to be dedicated to ferry operations for the next year, but that the JPA has a potential opportunity that is not yet ready for public discussion but would be an asset to the Mayport community. He is willing to meet with commissioners on a one-on-one basis to discuss this potential opportunity. Commissioner Redick suggested the need for a permanent solution for office and warehouse space for ferry operations, regardless of the operator. Mr. Kauffmann said there were other potential sites on Blount Island and in the Mayport area. In response to a question from Chairman Crescimbeni about whether the JPA would consider leasing the office property to the Ferry Commission rather than to the City, Mr. Kauffmann will pose that question to the JPA board. Karen Chastain noted that Hornblowers the use of the property is conditioned on the company holding the contract to operate the ferry, so if the company loses the operating contract within the next year it could not use the property for other purposes. The commission discussed indemnification for past environmental impacts while JPA operated the ferry (not possible), the need for an inventory (recently completed), ferry inspections (the next annual inspection is due in October but will be completed in September; the next Coast Guard-mandated dry dock inspection will be in 2014), and the need for a vessel value and condition survey. Mr. Brock will attempt to find a local marine appraiser who would do the appraisal at no cost. Commissioner Bowman said that his company (BAE Systems) has worked on the ferry in the past and may be able to provide an opinion on its current condition and expected lifespan. CFO Ronnie Belton was glad to hear that liability issues are being addressed, but pointed out that many questions still remain unanswered. Mr. Kauffmann has a number of issues to take back to the JPA board for their consideration and their response is uncertain. The commission needs to have all questions definitively answered before final decisions can be made. Mr. Kauffmann said that he will take two issues to the board at its next meeting: 1) the possibility of a 2-year lease, and 2) the lack of a state commitment to allocate $300,000 this year for ferry operations. He is confident that the board will be agreeable to the liability issues, ordinance and contracts as discussed today. The committee discussed the need to marshal a grant-writing effort to identify and apply for all available grant opportunities. The City will provide the services of its primary grant writer (Cherise Wilkes) to work with volunteer Mickey Baldwin who has done work in this area. JTA Executive Director Michael Blaylock offered the assistance of Steve Arrington of the authority to add is grant expertise. The committee requested that Ms. Wilkes, Ms. Baldwin and Mr. Arrington be asked to attend the next commission meeting to discuss grants. Chris Kauffmann said that the JPA would complete a 100% design on a slip wall replacement/rebuild project for the commissions use. Tom Goldsbury of the Public Works Department cautioned that a usual condition of using grant funds to do design projects is that if the project is not subsequently constructed, the grantor will require repayment of the design grant funds. Next meeting: will be either August 20th or August 27th, depending on when the JPA board can schedule a meeting to address the issues raised today. A notice will be sent out when a date is determined.
