A day after the Jacksonville City Council voted to remove most of a key funding element from the Jaguars stadium renovation deal, the members will meet again Friday to consider even more amendments to the proposal.

A lot of the proposed amendments were centered on what will ultimately happen at the stadium during and after renovations. Several council members said these amendments were not deal breakers.Transferring management of the facility from the Jaguars to a third-party

“The mayor’s office and Councilmember White came to that compromise, and I’m very supportive of it. I was always supportive of the park part. It was the other portion of the bill that I thought should be discussed as part of the budget. And this will allow us to do that,” current City Council President Ron Salem said after White introduced the proposal.

“I didn’t think it was right that five or maybe as many as six would have to abstain from voting,” White said. “They’ve been working on this for years, and we only get worked on it for a matter of weeks. And so it’s, you know, I’ve always erred to caution. We need to slow it down. That’s where I’m at,” Gay said.
