Jefferson County Development Authority bylaws
The Jefferson County Commission may be considering the bylaws presented by the JCDA this Thursday, May 1. Tell the County Commission to accept the bylaws as presented by the JCDA and then commit to following them.
At the most recent JCDA meeting, the board decided to send the version of its bylaws it approved in May 2024 back to the JCC for approval (a step required by a provision in the actual JCDA bylaws, not by state law). The JCC needs to stop meddling in the operation of the JCDA (an independent corporation).
Send public comment using this letter portal below. This will go to all JCC commissioners.
