This ordinance approves a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) and the JEA Supervisors' Association (JSA). The agreement covers approximately 196 JEA employees who are non-professional supervisors and is effective from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028.

Key provisions of the agreement include:

• Wage Increases: A general pay base increase of 4.0% in Fiscal Year 1 (2026), 3.5% in Fiscal Year 2 (2027), and 3.0% in Fiscal Year 3 (2028). The 4.0% increase for FY1 is retroactive to October 1, 2025, upon final City Council approval.
• Overtime Pay: Unused compensatory time will be paid out or rolled into a reserve bank, 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan, or HSA Account, subject to IRS limitations.
• Benefits and Allowances: An increase of $50 to the safety footwear voucher, reimbursement for required licenses and certifications, and an increase in the basic term life insurance amount to $350,000.
• Other Provisions: Clarifications on leave usage, holiday pay for shift workers, and updated procedures for alcohol/drug testing, grievances, and discipline.

The estimated total cost of these changes over the three-year term is $3,319,133.

This agreement impacts JEA employees represented by the JSA, providing them with wage increases and updated benefits. For residents, this means continued service delivery from JEA as labor relations are stabilized, with the associated costs reflected in JEA's overall operational budget.
