Dykes went on to say that the other scenarios in play for JEA — going public with an initial public offering (IPO) or reorganizing as a utility cooperative — were also not in the best interest of the community. “To ensure we are operating transparently I believe the information should be reviewed openly, not as a path forward but to determine if there are lessons in the work that will help make our government-owned utility even better,” Dykes said. Dykes was named interim CEO after Zahn was ousted Dec. 17 but will not seek the permanent CEO job.
