With the Jacksonville City Council’s 2025-26 legislative year underway, new standing committee assignments have been released.
New Council President Kevin Carrico issued assignments for standing Council committees in a July 1 memo.
The five standing committees review legislation, take comments from the public and vote on whether to recommend it to the full Council for approval or denial. Often, the bulk of Council discussion and debate on legislation takes place in committees as opposed to the full Council floor.
Each committee meets on the first and third Mondays or Tuesdays of each month. The full Council meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month except July and December, when summer and winter breaks are scheduled.
Council is currently on its annual summer break, with no meetings scheduled through July 11.
