Fernandina Beach Mayor Robin Lentz has decided not to seek reelection to the City Commission this election cycle.

Lentz wrote in an email to the Fernandina Observer, “I love serving this great city, and though I am not seeking re-election, I plan to still be involved in the community and follow the city’s progress, especially the waterfront development.  There is still much work to be done before my departure.”

At this time, three candidates have filed to run for the Group 3 Seat Lentz currently occupies: Orlando Avila, Medardo Monzon and Ronald Joseph “Chip” Ross. The deadline for qualifying by petition is June 12, 2017. The final qualifying deadline is July 10-14, 2017.

For information on qualification requirements and filing deadlines, visit the city’s website www.fbfl.us or contact Fernandina Beach City Clerk Caroline Best, [email protected] or (904) 310-3115.

Robin has done a wonderful job serving as commissioner and mayor. Understand her decision to step aside with her family responsibilities but know she will stay active in the community in so many ways. Best wishes Robin.
