Summary

The Fort Pierce Utilities Authority board approved the agenda, minutes and consent items and heard director announcements about a May 20 budget workshop, an April 29 community forum on septic-to-sewer conversion for Paradise Park and the kickoff of strategic planning.

The Fort Pierce Utilities Authority board approved the meeting agenda, minutes and consent agenda on April 15 and heard director announcements about upcoming budget, strategic-planning and community outreach events.

At the start of the meeting the board voted to set the agenda, approve the minutes and adopt the consent agenda. Board members voting “yes” on the roll call were Ms. Bennett, Ms. Davis, Ms. Gibbons, Mayor Hudson and Mr. Fee; each motion carried.

Harvey, FPUA director, told the board the next regular board meeting is scheduled for May 6 at 4 p.m. He said the utility will hold a budget workshop on May 20 beginning at 9 a.m., with a short lunch break and an afternoon session to complete regular business. Harvey also said the utility’s strategic-planning work will begin with staff interviews on April 24 and that board interviews will be scheduled afterward with a goal of a final workshop presentation on Aug. 19.

The board was given a handout for a community forum set for April 29 at 6 p.m. at 1406 Avenue B. Harvey said the forum will be hosted by Overseer Copeland with Pastor Pinky involved and that one topic on the agenda will be septic-to-sewer conversion in Paradise Park; the board did not take any action on that issue at the meeting.

Harvey also noted an April 27 event with San Juan Diego Church that will include a representative from the Consulate of Mexico, and he said the authority expects to participate in the annual Tunnels of Hope event at FK Suite (date to be finalized). He reported he had provided an annual FPUA update to the Fort Pierce City Commission the previous night.

No ordinances, contracts or budget appropriations were introduced or adopted during the meeting. The board had no attorney comments, and no public speakers registered during the public-comment periods.
