Council approves zoning-board appointment, forms audit selection committee
Summary
At its Feb. 11 meeting the Town of Lake Clarke Shores Council approved the appointment of Jeffrey Borsos to the Zoning Board of Adjustment and created an audit selection committee chaired by Vice Mayor John Maples.
The Town of Lake Clarke Shores Town Council on Feb. 11 approved a resolution appointing Jeffrey Borsos as a regular member of the Zoning Board of Adjustment and established an audit selection committee chaired by Vice Mayor John Maples.
Borsos, who introduced himself at the meeting and said he lives on Karen Bola Road, was approved by a 5-0 vote for a term that will expire in May 2026. He described his background as a building inspector who works in Palm Beach County and told the council he moved to the town because he and his wife “fell in love with the town.”
The council also voted 5-0 to form an audit selection committee and to name Vice Mayor John Maples as the committee chair. Town staff had recommended two outside government finance directors be added to the three-member panel; the committee’s charge is to draft the request for proposals and evaluate audit firms when the town’s auditor contract expires.
Why it matters: the Zoning Board of Adjustment hears appeals and variance requests that affect land use and property owners; selecting an auditor is a routine but consequential procurement that shapes the town’s financial oversight for the coming audit cycle.
Details and procedure: Town staff explained the auditor-selection process must follow applicable state guidelines; staff said the committee will develop evaluation criteria and rank firms before returning a recommendation to the council. The council motion to appoint the named members carried without recorded opposition.
Votes at a glance: - Resolution 2025-02 — Appointment of Jeffrey Borsos as regular member, Zoning Board of Adjustment (term to May 2026): motion made, seconded, carried 5-0. - Audit selection committee appointment — Town council appoints John Maples (chair) and two recommended outside finance directors to the audit selection committee: motion made, seconded, carried 5-0.
Next steps: The audit selection committee will draft the RFP, solicit proposals and return ranked recommendations to the council. Borsos will assume the Zoning Board seat for the stated term.
Ending: The council took the votes during the meeting’s unfinished-business segment; both items were approved by unanimous voice vote with no further public discussion recorded.
