As the District 2 Commissioner for Nassau County, one of my most important jobs is to propose appointees for a number of Boards that perform a variety of vital tasks on behalf of the citizens of Nassau County. Currently there are District 2 vacancies on the Code Enforcement Board and the Economic Development Board.
I am seeking resumes and cover letters from citizens interested in serving on one of these Boards. If you are interested in serving, please send your resume and cover letter to [email protected]. Preference will be given to residents of County Commission District 2 (Amelia Island south of Simmons Rd, and the entire area south side of State Route 200 up to Lofton Creek in Yulee). Communities in District 2 include Amelia Island Plantation, Old Nassauville, and Amelia Concourse.
Code Enforcement Board
The Code Enforcement Board is a quasi-judicial body with seven members whose
responsibilities are to receive and evaluate evidence and testimony regarding alleged violations of the Nassau County Codes and Ordinances. Fines can be imposed against parties found to be in violation.
Examples of typical cases heard by the Code Board include, but are not limited to:
• Accumulations of trash, litter, and debris
• Occupying recreational vehicles
• Parking commercial vehicles in improper zones
• Unserviceable vehicles
• Violations of tree ordinance
The Code Enforcement Board meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Board
members serve three (3) year terms and are required to file financial disclosure. Florida Statute
does not allow for compensation for serving on the Board, however it does allow for mileage
reimbursement at rates set by the Federal General Services Administration.
Economic Development Board
The Nassau County Economic Development Board is a non-profit organization formed in 1995.
Its purpose is to serve as a public-private partnership to provide leadership and develop policies and programs to help establish diversified and financially strong businesses in the community, thus enhancing that quality of life for Nassau County.
The Board meets on the fourth Tuesday of every other month. Board members serve two-year terms (depending on appointment) and do not receive compensation for their time and/or travel expenses. Members are not required to file financial disclosure; however they are required to sign a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement and a Confidentiality Agreement.
