City Council President Ron Salem says he hopes the framework for a deal to upgrade the Jacksonville Jaguars’ stadium will be in the council’s hands by mid-May and that full council meetings on the deal can begin in early June.

At a council meeting Tuesday, Salem said he and Mayor Donna Deegan’s office plan to hold five or six community meetings to gather public input on the stadium deal once it is delivered. He expects those meetings to take two weeks, during which time the council’s auditors and its independent attorney will review the terms of the deal.
