City Enflineer Recruitment
Earlier this week, Director of Human Resources Director Rich Samolewicz
and I met to discuss candidacy of finalist to be considered for Sebastian's
next City Engineer. A total of five prospects have been selected for
interviews, which are to transpire during the week of June 5th. As such, I
anticipate making an offer/formal appointment in the coming weeks
thereafter, in which you all will be formally introduced accordingly.
Revisions to Indian River Drive Community Boardwalk
Several weeks ago, I provided an update relative to our community's
educational boardwalk, whereby Indian River County awarded a grant from
the Florida Boating Improvement Program (FBIP). A few days ago, a
meeting transpired with Ms. Tami Dabu of the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) relative to logistics associated with project
permitting. Requirements include that the boardwalk is to be eight feet wide
and L-shaped (extending from the sidewalk and to then turn out into Indian
River). As such, like revisions are appropriate, as the City of Sebastian
anticipates receiving the necessary construction permit from DEP this
summer. In addition, the Indian River County Commission approved an
Interlocal Agreement with the City of Sebastian to govern the $20,000 award
for this program during their meeting Tuesday morning. We therefore
anticipate presenting the Agreement for your consideration during a meeting
scheduled in June.

Just a reminder that I will be out of the office Thursday May 25th and Friday

City/County Management Association (FCCMA) Conference being held in
Pointe Vedra Beach, Florida. Should any of you need to contact me, I will
be staying at Country inn Suites, where I can be reached by calling
