The Fort Pierce City Commission is seeking dedicated individuals to serve on the Fort Pierce Infrastructure Surtax Citizen Oversight Committee. As required by the 2018 voter referendum, this committee plays a vital role in ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of Infrastructure Surtax funds.

To be eligible, applicants must be residents of the City of Fort Pierce. Individuals with expertise in engineering, planning, or finance are particularly encouraged to apply. The committee meets quarterly, and participation provides an opportunity to contribute to the responsible management of local infrastructure improvements.
