AMENDMENT
The City of Jacksonville is reviewing the acquisition of property needed for a future construction project. This project involves 53 affected parcels, with a portion of one parcel being the current subject. The city is authorized to purchase the needed property through negotiation or eminent domain. Offers can be up to 25% above appraised value, plus up to $100,000 for business damages, not including legal and professional fees. The overall construction project is expected to be finished by 2030. This item is currently pending review by the Transportation, Energy & Utilities Committee. The work will likely involve site acquisition, legal services, and eventually construction, including potential demolition, site preparation, utility work, and building. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage early to understand the project's scope and potential needs as plans develop.

COUNCIL RULE 4.505 DISRUPTION OF MEETING
This item concerns a proposed rule change for public meetings held by the City of Jacksonville's Transportation, Energy & Utilities Committee. The rule, Council Rule 4.505, outlines actions that can be taken against individuals who disrupt meetings. These actions include being barred or removed from the meeting, or the audience being cleared. The rule also specifies behaviors considered disruptive, such as political campaigning, excessive noise or movement, displaying signs larger than 21 inches by 21 inches, audible electronic device noise, consuming alcohol, making offensive remarks, refusing to stop speaking, or returning after removal. This rule is currently under review. While this item does not involve construction, it may lead to opportunities for legal services related to drafting and reviewing public meeting rules and policies. Businesses specializing in legal services could benefit from understanding these procedural changes.

Chair Amaro informed the committee that he attended a special meeting on Friday, August 14, 2026, in his capacity as the City Council liaison to the JEA Board, at which the results of the City-sponsored JEA survey regarding Ms. Vickie Cavey, CEO of JEA, were presented. He encouraged committee members to review the results. Chair Amaro stated that allegations of a toxic work culture and racism were unsubstantiated, but that the JEA Board is nevertheless pursuing executive coaching for JEA's C-suite.
This item concerns a planned civic initiative involving executive coaching for the C-suite leadership team at JEA. The coaching sessions are a direct result of a city-sponsored survey concerning JEA's CEO. The senior leadership team has 30 days to complete these coaching sessions. This initiative is currently under review and has not yet been implemented. The scope of work involves professional development services focused on leadership and organizational culture. Local businesses specializing in executive coaching and corporate training may find opportunities related to this initiative. Early engagement could be beneficial as plans for the coaching sessions are finalized.

Mr. Shay Hill, JEA, introduced Mr. Darrell Hamilton, Manager of Transmission and Substation Projects, JEA, who presented an update on the Fulton Cut Transmission Line Clearance Project.
JEA is undertaking the Fulton Cut Transmission Line Clearance Project to raise existing power lines over the St. Johns River. The project involves replacing four miles of wire and installing three Pyramax towers on both the north and south banks. The power lines will be raised 50 feet, from 175 feet to 225 feet above high tide, to allow larger ships to pass following river dredging. The project is currently under review and is planned to be operational by the end of 2026, with demolition of old towers scheduled for January to March 2027. This project will involve site preparation, tower construction, wire pulling, and utility work. Contractors specializing in heavy construction, electrical transmission, civil engineering, and demolition may find opportunities. Reaching out to JEA early could provide an advantage before final bids and permits are established.

This item concerns an ordinance titled the “Stand for Service Act” that has been approved by the Transportation, Energy & Utilities Committee and other bodies. The ordinance requires companies receiving a Recapture Enhanced Value Grant Incentive to make a good faith effort to hire at least 10% qualified active-duty military spouses and/or veterans for new jobs created. It also designates Cecil Airport as a key factor in economic and workforce development, giving projects that benefit the airport additional positive consideration for public investments. This ordinance replaces a former Public Investment Policy. The approval process is complete, meaning the policy is now in effect. This policy change could lead to future projects and job creation, potentially involving site development, construction, and related services, especially those that benefit Cecil Airport. Businesses that focus on workforce development, military family support, or projects related to airport infrastructure may find opportunities. Early engagement with the city or relevant agencies could provide insight into upcoming projects and requirements.

The City of Jacksonville is declaring a public necessity to acquire property interests for the Chaffee Road Widening Project. This project involves widening Chaffee Road from Normandy Boulevard to Interstate 10. The city plans to acquire fee simple title, temporary construction easements, and permanent drainage easements. This acquisition may occur through negotiation or eminent domain. The process is currently under review, with the City Council having recently amended and approved the ordinance. This project will likely involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work, and road paving. Contractors specializing in land acquisition, surveying, heavy civil construction, and utility work may find opportunities. Engaging early in the process, before final site plans, bids, and permits are established, could provide a competitive advantage.
