Summary
On Dec. 8 the commission approved the consent agenda (except item a), extended the Jetty Linear Park license for one year, adopted two resolutions on runoff polling places and civil-service board appointments, and approved the city manager's selection of a new police chief.
The City of Fort Pierce commission took several recorded actions on Dec. 8. Key votes:
- Approval: Minutes from the November meeting and the meeting agenda (standard roll-call approvals).
- Consent agenda: The commission approved the consent agenda except for item A, which was pulled for discussion.
- Jetty Linear Park license: Approved supplemental agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to extend the Jetty Linear Park license by one year to Dec. 13, 2026, as a temporary measure while staff pursue a longer five-year renewal. Staff explained the Army Corps lease runs to 2034 but license renewal has required negotiation; the motion passed on recorded roll call.

- Resolution 25-R83: Adopted a resolution appointing Steve DiPalma as a commission representative and reappointing Thora Moore to the civil service appeals board; motion carried on roll call.
- Police chief appointment: The commission approved the city manager's recommended appointment of David Smith as police chief (unanimous). The commission directed staff to negotiate an employment agreement and return a final contract for commission action.
Roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting minutes for each action; where commissioners individually voiced votes the record shows unanimous approval for the items listed above.
