The City of Port St. Lucie is inviting applications for positions on two committees. One position is available as an alternate member of the Construction Board of Appeals, and another as an alternate member of the Infrastructure Surtax Citizens Oversight Committee.
The Construction Board of Appeals plays a crucial role in reviewing contractor license applications, suggesting licensing procedure changes to the City's Building Official, and addressing formal complaints from citizens against contractors. The board consists of seven members and two alternates, each serving three-year terms. To qualify, contractors must reside in St. Lucie County and hold a current Florida state contractor’s license or a certificate of competency issued by the City. They are also required to have valid insurance and workers’ compensation as per legal requirements.
The Infrastructure Surtax Citizens Oversight Committee is tasked with independently overseeing and reviewing how surtax proceeds are spent, ensuring compliance with City Ordinance 18-50, County Ordinance 18-004, and Florida State Statutes. This surtax is part of a half-cent sales tax approved by voters in 2018 to fund projects related to roads, sidewalks, and water quality improvements. Similar to the Construction Board of Appeals, this committee comprises seven members and two alternates who serve three-year terms.
All committee members are appointed by the City Council on a voluntary basis.
Applications for these positions are currently open. Interested individuals can apply by visiting CityofPSL.com/Committees. For further details about the application process, Shanna Donleavy, Deputy City Clerk, can be contacted at 772-871-5157.
