Summary
Fact Sheet The
committee engaged in considerable discussion with Jim Dickenson, CEO of JEA,
regarding JEA salaries, union contracts and utility rates. Mr. Dickenson explained that the 5
collective bargaining agreements up for consideration today provide for no
pay increases in FY09-10 and 10-11 and small raises in FY11-12. The agreements will expire in September
2012 and negotiations on a new contract will begin shortly after the start of
the new year. The phased-in electric
base rate increases are now complete and the water and sewer base rate will
increase one more time in 2012, after which both base rates should hold
steady for 5 years. Part of JEA’s
concern with salaries is the fact that turnover is increasing rapidly as many
workers reach retirement age and others leave for higher salaries in the private
sector or with other utilities. APPROVE 4-2 (Crescimbeni,
