City Council · 2026-07-28 · agenda_item

The City of Jacksonville is considering the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget for JEA. This budget adoption process is currently pending. The City Council and the Office of General Counsel are authorized to make necessary adjustments. This item is early in the public process, with a public hearing scheduled for August 11, 2026. While this item does not directly involve construction, the adoption of the JEA budget will guide future utility projects and operational needs. These could include infrastructure upgrades, maintenance, and new service installations. Businesses involved in utility services, construction, and related supply chains may find opportunities as JEA plans and executes its projects based on this budget. Engaging with JEA or relevant city departments early could provide insight into upcoming needs before specific contracts are awarded.
