The Jacksonville City Council addressed a concern regarding some of JEA’s leadership who make important decisions about the operations but do not live in Jacksonville.
– “I think you were one of the first reporters that brought that to my attention and to the council’s attention,” City Council President Ron Salem said. “We had so many people that were living outside the greater Jacksonville area.”, formerly JEA’s chief strategy officer, was one of the four.
As of now, any workforce changes would come from JEA leadership. CEO Jay Stowe said they are reviewing the idea. For now, Salem believes JEA can handle the issue but the council will keep tabs along the way, especially since the council has stepped in and changed JEA operations in the past few years after the attempted sale debacle.
The remaining JEA execs are still working for the company. JEA said it is currently reviewing its “Work Where We Work Best” policy and will wait until that review is complete before making any changes.
