JACKSONVILLE COMMUNITY COUNCIL INC.2010 ANNUAL REPORT

Thanks to all of you who have supported JCCI’s mission for the past 35 years!2010 marks a number of milestones as we celebrate JCCI’s 35th anniversary, the25th anniversary of our Quality of Life Progress Report, the 10th anniversary of ourleadership development program, JCCI Forward, and the 5th anniversary of ourRace Relations Progress Report.

I began my presidency last fall at JCCI’s 34th annual meeting with the theme “Atthe Crossroads”. My term ends as I turn over the presidency to Bill Mason at the35th annual meeting themed “Back to Work”. How appropriate. We com-menced the 2009-10 fiscal year with many challenges but not unprepared. Aboard reality check conducted last September helped set the course andmarked out priorities that included developing our contracting capabilities under

JCCI’s CommunityWorks arm, and strengthening our brand as an action-oriented organization mak-ing positive changes in our community’s quality of life.

The work accomplished this year has been remarkable, especially in light of forced budget and staffreductions. Consider just a few: completion of the award-winning Air Quality Study implementationunder Don Anderson’s leadership; successful launching of JCCI’s entirely revamped Quality of LifeProgress Report with its continuously updated data and cutting-edge interactive mapping capabili-ties on Community Snapshot; continuing success in advocating action on Infant Mortality Study rec-ommendations; major changes in the city’s budgeting processes as a result of our City Finance Studyimplementation and placement of the need for financial sustainability squarely in the public eye. Wehave also had unprecedented levels of civic engagement through expanded monthly JCCI forumsand an exceptionally active year for JCCI Forward under the leadership of Chairman Lee Brown.

One troubling aspect of this past year was the absence of a JCCI study to engage and galvanize cit-izens in the unique learning and “doing” process that earned us the title of “preeminent nonpartisancivic organization in the country” by Smart Communities author, Dr. Suzanne Morse. I am delightedto see that JCCI is “back to work” with the launch of its newest study, Recession Recovery andBeyond, that will doubtlessly be another highly relevant, action-packed study and implementationendeavor.

I am very grateful to my fellow Board members and the community for the support you all have pro-vided in these challenging times. I offer special thanks to the indomitable staff of JCCI whose talent,dedication and sacrifice have continued to build on the reputation for excellence that is synonymouswith JCCI.

JCCI was created in 1975 as a result of the Amelia Island Community Planning Conference to exam-ine community issues by bringing together a broad cross-section of the population. In its 35 years, JCCIhas provided a forum and a structure through which groups of informed, concerned citizens havemade a difference in public policy decisions. When enough people care to act, the course of anentire city can change.

MISSION STATEMENTJacksonville Community Council Inc. (JCCI) is a nonpartisan civic organization that engages diversecitizens in open dialogue, research, consensus building, advocacy and leadership development to

improve the quality of life and build a better community in Northeast Florida and beyond.

Suzanne Morse, in Smart Communities, says that "the type of dialogue created and the methods used bythe Jacksonville Community Council Inc. are transferable to and usable in any community, whatever its

composition, character, problems, and issues."

JCCI dedicates its 35th anniversary year to Frederick H. Schultz and his vision for the future of Jacksonville.

We end this fiscal year a much leaner organization than we began, with a “toothto tail” ratio a military commando team would envy. Everyone is a front-line troop,directly involved in the programs and services of JCCI. Our staffing level is com-parable now to where we were in the early 1980’s. Those were the years when wecreated the Human Services Council, launched a successful initiative to reduceteen pregnancy, caused the city to implement comprehensive planning and con-currency rules for growth management, implemented major improvements to thecity’s disaster preparedness posture, and created a first-in-the-nation Quality of Lifeindicators report that is now the international gold standard.

We are certainly “back to work” at JCCI, still performing the core functions we did 25 years ago butwith the addition of new programs: JCCI Forward, the Race Relations Progress Report, a significantlymore sophisticated Quality of Life reporting system, and an arm of our organization focused on localand national contracting work. The source of revenues to support these programs has also changeddramatically where today we rely much more heavily on community and corporate support and fee-for-service work. This requires great staff flexibility and an adaptable workforce that can gain andshed capacity as the work requires. It is a new environment for all of us.

Amazingly, we have undergone this transformation without compromising our mission or our values.JCCI’s core values are intact: integrity; excellence; inclusiveness; innovation; objectivity. Our corefunctions are unchanged: research; citizen participation; advocacy; leadership development. Andour mission is still engaging diverse citizens to the improve quality of life in Northeast Florida andbeyond.

Above all, this transformation has underscored how essential all of you are to JCCI’s mission. We havenever been more dependent on strong community support – financially and through your volunteerservice. Special thanks to our members, volunteers, corporate sponsors, government and United Wayfunders, contract and grant partners and individual donors for keeping JCCI a vital, relevant part ofthis community. Happy 35th Anniversary JCCI!

JCCI receives funds from various sources. We strive for credibility, objectivity and independence in our work,thus diverse support is essential. In fiscal year 2009, JCCI members and the local business community provided

51% of our funds. United Way of Northeast Florida contracts with JCCI for research and partners with the City ofJacksonville to update our local indicator reports. Contracts for services and special grant supported projectsgenerate supplemental income. Like so many others, JCCI’s investments took significant losses. Although notreflected, the thousands of volunteer hours donated each year are one of JCCI’s most important resources.

Statement of Support, Revenue, Expenses and Changes in Fund Balances Year Ending September 30, 2009.

JCCI COUNCIL OF STEWARDSJCCI’s Council of Stewards was launched in 2002 with the mis-sion to offer wisdom and ideas about key JCCI programs andto provide JCCI with significant and sustained financial sup-port. Members are kept well-informed of JCCI’s work and areinvited to express their views to the board of directors.

Membership in the Council consists of individuals who pledgegifts to JCCI of $5,000 or more over three years. A member isconsidered a Lifetime Steward upon the completion of three,three-year pledges, or upon contributing a total of $15,000.

In March 2010, Wyman Duggan, Chair of the Charter RevisionCommission, shared insights during a Stewards event titled Commissioners In The Crossfire! Revising TheCity Charter in which he discussed the newly revised City Charter. Meetings such as this are generallyconvened twice a year in the form of cocktail receptions, and provide the opportunity for thought-pro-voking, high-level discussions. These receptions include talks on select topics by distinguished presenters,and are sometimes forums to discuss policy questions facing JCCI.

A sincere thank you to JCCI’s Council of Stewards for their continued support of our mission.

Have you ever wondered, “What happens when JCCI studies are completed?”

We call it the “so what?”question, and it goes to the core of JCCI’s mission of impacting the quality oflife in Northeast Florida in a positive way.

At the conclusion of each community study, a two-year implementation period is initiated for the pur-pose of advocating for the successful implementation of the study’s recommendations. A volunteeradvocacy task force is assembled, often with 50 or more members participating. These are typicallypeople from all walks of life who share a passionate interest in the study topic, and who are willing todevote their time and energy to making a difference in their community.

More often than not, their work is conducted behind the scenes and without fanfare. These are folkswho are not in it for acknowledgement or to appear in the spotlight. Frequently, they influence posi-tive outcomes but you never hear about it. That’s because they routinely deflect the credit to outsidestakeholders with whom they have worked…their interest is progress, not recognition.

But make no mistake; they represent the backbone of the organization’s efforts to make Jacksonvillea better place. Through the years, there have been thousands of concerned citizens who have par-ticipated in JCCI implementation projects, and most have remained relatively anonymous to the gen-eral public. Their contributions have been considerable, however, and the community is a better placefor their selfless efforts.

So, next time you ask yourself the “so what?” question, take a moment to consider the countless volun-teers who have rolled up their sleeves through the years and worked on advocacy task forces toimprove the quality of life for us all. That will be all the recognition they seek.

Implementation Projects in 2009-10 included:

INFANT MORTALITY

The two-year JCCI effort to help lay groundwork for reducingJacksonville’s alarming infant mortality rate comes to a close this fall.The Infant Mortality Advocacy Task Force, under the leadership ofRev. Tom Rodgers, can cite successes in a wide range of sectors, notjust those related to medical care. Indeed, one of the primary find-ings of the Infant Mortality Study was that numerous factors faced bywomen throughout their life cycle, not just those directly related tohealth care, influence their predisposition for poor birth outcomes.Poverty, racism, poor housing, crime, and other societal issues repre-sent the root causes of a high percentage of infant deaths.Accordingly, a significant portion of the Task Force’s activity wasfocused on these areas.

Significant results included: implemented a professionally-produced social awareness campaign tomobilize the African-American community to address infant mortality; completed a series of forumsfocusing attention on fatherhood issues and the role of males in the lives of their children; working witharea hospitals on achieving “baby friendly” designation (10-step process representing a dedicatedeffort to promote breastfeeding); Medicaid processing and registration streamlined for pregnantwomen; enlisted local organizations focused on race relations to help communicate the impact ofracism and racial disparities on infant mortality; significant work to reduce deleterious effects of “fooddeserts” by introducing food stamps to Farmers Market, and distribution of healthy food bags to womenleaving appointments at Shands ob/gyn clinic.

CITY FINANCES

The City Finances Advocacy Task force, chaired by J.F. Bryan IV, reachesthe mid-way point of its two-year term in September. The Task Force ischarged with advocating for the implementation of recommendationsof the JCCI study - Our Money, Our City: Financing Jacksonville’s Future,released in June 2009 and also led by Mr. Bryan. The study revealed thatJacksonville faces a financial crisis that grew even worse during thecourse of the nine-month project because of the severe national reces-sion and state budget shortfalls. The study concluded that the future ofthe City rests on becoming financially sustainable, with budgetaryprocesses and priorities in place that transcend administrations and anopen, transparent process that builds community confidence in localgovernment.

Implementation progress to date has been encouraging, as it has beenclear over the past year that both the Mayor’s office and City Council areserious about improving budget processes, engaging citizens early and often, and working towardlong-term solutions to achieve sustainability in the City’s public pension programs.

Results to date include: In direct response to a recommendation relating to the need for greater trans-parency and public involvement, the City significantly revised its budget processes by beginningmonths earlier than has normally been the case. Mayor Peyton introduced a comprehensive budgetcommunications program, including a user-friendly website (myjaxbudget.com) and a series of budg-et workshops from February through April designed to give interested citizens an opportunity to voicetheir opinions on priorities in City government. During the same period, City Council President RichardClark convened several Town Hall meetings to provide opportunities for additional citizen input onbudget priorities. A new City ordinance was approved that resulted in the Mayor providing theCouncil with a preliminary budget in May, more than a month prior to the customary July 15 presen-tation of his final budget recommendation. The additional time for consideration of the proposedbudget is expected to help streamline the formal budget hearings later in the summer. As also rec-ommended by the Task Force, the City agreed to become an active member of the FloridaBenchmarking Consortium, which allows Florida cities to compare financial performance in key areasin order to maximize levels of service and efficiency.

Finally, the Mayor’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2011 makes more formal consideration than everbefore of five-year financial projections, recognizing that a one year only band-aid approach cannotachieve financial sustainability.

The JCCI Model for Community Change begins with working with the community to understand andarticulate a shared vision for the future, based on the values and priorities of the people who live, work,and play in the area. Change must be driven by a vision of both what needs to improve and whatneeds to be preserved; the vision serves as a destination for the road map to follow.

The vision provides a destination, but no more. We need to know where we are in relation to that vision.For that purpose, JCCI engages the community to develop and review community indicators everyyear that measure our progress toward our vision. We publish these reports annually as the Quality ofLife Progress Report and the Race Relations Progress Report, as well as in the continually-updatedCommunity Snapshot on our website www.jcci.org.

With the knowledge we gain from the indicators, we can determine our priorities for action. The indi-cators by themselves don’t tell us what to do; they are descriptive, not prescriptive. They inform ourplanning processes through our community studies, where we can determine how we as a communi-ty need to move forward to address the issues identified by the indicators where we fall short of ourvision. The community study process engages the community to develop solutions, by consensus, toget us moving in the right direction.

The recommendations from our studies gain their power for change from the volunteers who work tire-lessly to turn reports into action through our implementation advocacy process. JCCI reports neverstay on a shelf; to continue our travel analogy further, our volunteers are the pleasing voice of the GPSunit helping our civic institutions with a cheerful “turn here.” It is because of this action component thatJCCI is often described as a “think-and-do tank.”

The actions get results. Recommendations are implemented. Policies change. Programs develop andrespond. But that is not enough. JCCI monitors the results and outcomes of its study and implementa-tion efforts and assesses results. You can read the assessments in the final implementation reports onour website.

Beyond those reports, however, we are interested in lasting, sustainable community change. The com-munity indicators reports serve as the final piece in the community change model, keeping us focusedon measuring progress toward the vision. They serve as the ultimate evaluation tool to ensure that ourefforts are making a real difference for the community.

We are pleased to have served Jacksonville for the last 35 years, and look forward to another 35 yearsof making lasting change. You can read more about the impact JCCI and our members have had onJacksonville in the Highlights of Community Change report at www.jcci.org.
