Good afternoon.

Welcome to the special investigative committee on JEA.

Let's begin by introductions to my far left.

Colleen Hamsey, Council of Research.

Mary Stefopoulos, Office of General Counsel.

Brian Parks, Council Auditor's Office.

Billy Peterson, Council Auditor's Office.

Jason Teal, City Council Legislative Council.

Good afternoon, Rory Diamond, District 13, the beach.

Ron Salem, group two at large.

Jacobi Pittman, District 10.

Rockman Johnson, District 14.

I'm just visiting today.

Is the meeting being streamed?

Do we know that?

Oh, I understand Channel 4.

It or are it is being streamed.

You can see it.

Okay.

If you can't see it, text me.

And we'll see what we need to do.

Thank you.

Okay.

Moving through the agenda.

Update on the JEA employee survey, Mr.

Teal.

Can you and I'll jump in after you if I need to?

Sure.

Thank you, Mr.

Chair.

Through the chair of the committee.

So this is on the council's agenda for uh for next, or sorry, for tomorrow night for final action of the council.

I believe it was amended in committees uh to uh require that the uh the survey company make a presentation to the JEA board if the JEA board is willing to take um such a presentation, and for us to send it to JEA upon receipt as well.

Correct, and I believe that was always the intent of the CIC is to share that uh information with JEA.

So um I don't believe that substantially alters the JEA or I'm sorry, the SIC's um uh commitment to this.

And Mr.

Thiel and I will be meeting with uh the firm uh assuming it's passed tomorrow night uh the Wednesday, Thursday to begin finalizing the questions and hopefully get that survey out in the next uh seven to ten days, would be my hope.

Okay.

Uh update on capacity fees.

Mr.

Parks.

Yes, uh, through the chair to the committee.

Uh first off, there's not a lot of that's moved between the last one.

This I was out for an extended period of time.

Our staff has also been doing conducting the quarterly summary review that we normally do in this this period.

But we have could kind of completed our initial research portion of this.

We are starting to pull that some of the data and everything else on the flows and on some of the amounts paid to validate.

We have a series of questions and requests for data out to JA as well that we sent right before I was out.

I'll be following up on that later today.

Um, and so that's what we're working through at this point.

We're kind of past the fact-finding piece and kind of into the starting to recalculate different things.

Uh Mr.

Parks, how are you determining which entities that you're gonna pull data on?

Companies, whatever, whatever it may be.

The the ultimate goal will be to look at overall so is to get the mass data pool on the commercial side, and so we'll go through that and pull samples to validate different pieces of information that we get from them.

Um on this initial piece.

You know, there was an initial listing that kind of got out there, and we are kind of pulling some stuff on a lower level on those ones right now, is what we're working through.

Those uh I think 10 inch and larger meters and stuff like that that had been out previously.

I'm gonna ask you the question I ask at every meeting.

Do you have a time line when you might have some information such as uh the scope of this problem, dollars that may be involved, number of companies that may be involved from a big picture standpoint?
