The Jackson Energy Authority’s Board of Directors approved seven resolutions during their monthly meeting at the Tennergy Center, 250 North Highland Avenue, Thursday.

“JEA’s board of directors met to discuss several business items,” said Monte Jones, Jackson Energy Authority’s chairman of the board. “Those items included approval of engineering services for the electric division, purchase of materials and equipment for various areas, approval of grounds maintenance services, authorization for banking services and bill management services.  All items were approved.

“Additionally, financial reports for January were reviewed and accepted by the board. An update on the recent gas line repair near Highway 45 South at the Forked Deer River was given.
