At the April meeting the City of Stuart Commission recorded three formal actions: approval of the consent calendar, appointment of an advisory-board member and a motion authorizing staff to draft and transmit short resolutions to the state legislature on specified bills.
Consent calendar
The commission approved the consent calendar by roll call. Recorded votes: Commissioner Gioby — Yes; Commissioner Reed — Yes; Mayor Campbell Rich — Yes; Vice Mayor Collins — Yes; Commissioner Clark — Yes.
Appointment to E. Stewart Historical Advisory Committee
Resolution No. 43‑2025 (as read into the record) appointed Perley (Perla) Clark to fill a vacant seat on the E. Stewart Historical Advisory Committee for the remainder of the 2025 calendar year. The resolution passed by roll call: Mayor Campbell Rich — Yes; Commissioner Gioby — Yes; Commissioner Clark — Yes; Commissioner Reed — Yes; Vice Mayor Collins — Yes.
Authorization to draft/transmit resolutions on state bills
During the legislative update discussion the commission voted to authorize staff to draft short resolutions and transmit them, with mayoral signature per city attorney review, opposing certain state legislative provisions that the commission identified as threats to local home‑rule and planning authority. The commission specified several bills of concern (staff and commissioners referenced HB 1535 / ADU language, HB 943 / Live Local amendments and associated bills; staff was also asked to include emergency-related retroactive language concerns). The motion carried on roll call with all present commissioners recorded as Yes.
Notes on procedure and next steps
Staff will draft concise resolutions opposing or seeking amendment to identified provisions and transmit them to the city’s legislative delegation and the appropriate committee chairs. The commission asked that draft language be prepared quickly for distribution while the Legislature remains in session.
