A review by the City of Jacksonville’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) concluded Chief Resilience Officer Anne Coglianese showed “preferential treatment” which led to $4.3 million in city contracts for resiliency consulting work awarded to companies that employ her former co-workers from Louisiana.
Action News Jax’s Ben Becker obtained an anonymous confidential complaint filed in July against Coglianese, who was hired in 2021 by former Mayor Lenny Curry.The OIG investigated whether Coglianese was “ … allegedly steering COJ contract awards to companies that employed her personal friends and coworkers during her employment with the City of New Orleans.”
Action News Jax first reported on Oct. 13 that Coglianese and Mayor Donna Deegan introduced “Resilient Jacksonville,” a 50-year strategy to protect the River City from climate change. “The authors of this document have little to no institutional knowledge of the St. Johns River or what happened the last few years,” said coastal engineer Erik Olsen, who served on a sub-committee for the report. He said he sent his own resiliency study to the city that he completed for Shad Khan’s Iguana Investments as part of the Shipyards development and never heard back from the mayor’s office.
Olsen said the city report doesn’t address its most valuable future investment -- the proposed $2 billion stadium renovation.
