JEA electric‑fleet plan 'well received' by city leaders; contract under review

A staff member who attended a meeting with the city manager, city engineer and JEA representatives said the electric‑fleet concept was positively received by city leadership. "Both, Kevin and Steve liked the idea," the staff member reported, and said JEA has provided a draft contract that is now under review by city management.

The committee noted the idea did not fit the timing for the Marsh Oaks parking‑lot work but said other locations or future phases could accommodate charging infrastructure or vehicle staging. The staff member said JEA is assembling basic information and contract materials; the city is reviewing the contract to determine next steps.

Committee members encouraged staff to continue working with JEA to identify feasible pilot sites and to return with information on contract terms, expected costs and potential locations for pilot deployment.
