Council Member Discussion, Question and Answers

Finance Committee · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns ongoing discussions within the City of Jacksonville's Finance Committee regarding issues at JEA. Specifically, the committee is reviewing JEA's capacity fee collection, employee complaints, and internal surveys. The Special Investigation Committee (SIC) is expected to complete its testimony collection by June 22, 2026, with a survey possibly finished by early July. The committee is considering the issuance of subpoenas to compel cooperation with the investigation. This process is currently under review, with potential subpoenas to be approved or disapproved by the Finance Committee. The scope of work involves legal proceedings and investigations, including the potential for compelled testimony and the analysis of financial data related to capacity fees. Local businesses involved in legal services, document management, and investigative support may find opportunities as this review progresses. Engaging early allows for understanding the evolving needs of the investigation before formal processes are finalized.
