Peggy Sidman reported that at the Rules Special Meeting, Tom Petway, Board Chair, JEA, had indicated that the JEA Board wanted a change in the Charter so as to allow the Board to meet every other month rather than on a monthly basis, the current practice. Ms. Sidman recommends that the JEA Board pass a resolution indicating their request and provide the resolution to the Council along with the minutes of the Board meeting.
