JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville City Council’s special investigative committee examining JEA will hear testimony Monday afternoon from Chief Administrative Officer Jody Brooks and Regina Ross, the utility’s former legal counsel.
The committee is meeting twice on Monday -- at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. -- as it continues to follow a mandate from Council President Kevin Carrico to investigate claims of a toxic workplace culture and racism at JEA and questions about water/sewer capacity fees.

The 11 a.m. agenda includes a Combined Cycle Presentation by JEA employees, while the 1 p.m. session will feature updates on the employee survey and capacity fees from council auditors.
Those updates will be followed by testimony from Brooks and Ross.
In a meeting last month, committee members questioned whether an employee survey JEA is conducting with its more than 2,000 employees would provide enough detail to address the toxic workplace allegations.
Instead, the committee voted to adopt its own employee survey for JEA that will more directly assess concerns about workplace culture and allegations involving senior leadership.
The committee’s survey will be reviewed by the city’s attorneys.
