Due to resignation of Mr. Robert Cantwell, a vacancy has been created. Therefore, a recommendation for an appointment is needed one regular board member to serve an unexpired term ending October 27, 2027.
Under Florida Statute, Chapter 421, an appointee may not be an officer or employee of the City.
According to the Florida Statutes, members are appointed by the Mayor and ratified by the Commission. However, at the City Commission meeting of June 5, 1991, a consensus was reached whereby each Commissioner would, on an informal basis and according to the rotation procedure, make a recommendation to the Mayor as to the Housing Authority appointees.
The following individuals have submitted applications and would like to be recommended for an appointment.
