# Jacksonville City Council Workshop - September 8, 2026

The Jacksonville City Council held a workshop on September 8, 2026, where key procurement and policy topics were discussed. The council approved a resolution to initiate the redistricting process to account for recent annexations, using 2020 census data as the legal basis. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to an update on the city's multi-phase Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system implementation, including vendor selections (Universe and NEOGV), contract awards from 2023 and 2024, and go-live dates for various modules such as financial systems, utility billing, and work order systems. Challenges such as system integration, user adaptation, and network issues were addressed, with plans for further rollout in late 2026 and early 2027. The council also discussed the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, a federal policy blueprint aimed at streamlining housing development processes and expanding affordable housing opportunities, highlighting potential impacts on local land use and grant funding. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were made during this meeting, but several policy and project updates were provided that could influence future procurement and development activities.
