Council Member Boyer remarked that everyone acknowledges the good job that JTA did in the recovery efforts, that  we were aware of the statistics from news reports.  She suggested that in lieu of JEA representatives coming to the Committee with a review of the statistics, that the Committee members have specific questions to put to JEA.  The Chair requested that the Committee members forward to him their specific questions that they wished to raise with JEA representatives.
