Overview
- City Council President Kevin Carrico nominated former firefighters union leader Randy Wyse to fill the JEA board seat held by Arthur Adams Jr., whose term expired Feb. 28.
- Wyse cited a 32-year fire service career and said he would prioritize transparency, accountability and ratepayers if confirmed by the council.
- JEA’s executive committee revoked its earlier plan to elevate Vice Chair Rick Morales III after he urged CEO Vickie Cavey to resign, instead recommending MG Orender as chair.
- The committee backed Adams for vice chair, and the full board will vote on the officer slate on March 31 as Carrico advances a successor for Adams’ seat.
- A 4th Circuit State Attorney’s Office subpoena continues to seek communications on the appointment effort, including records with terms such as “JEA,” “Board appointment” and “lobbying contract.”
