3/14/25 @ 3:30 p.m.

On Thursday, March 13 and Friday, March 14, 2025, County Manager Taco Pope hosted the 2025 Winter Strategic Planning Session (WSPS-25) of the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). The WSPS is an annual event where the County Manager leads the BOCC in discussions to obtain feedback that defines the strategic direction of the organization, defines organizational priorities, allocates resources, and serves to ‘kick-off’ the County’s annual budget development process.


The event was a Workshop and as such, no action was taken. Discussions included the budget, land conservation, park projects, road projects, Vision 2050, legislative matters, and more. The Board's collective input will be used to the guide the County Manager and staff to ensure that identified priorities are being addressed and achieved. Any items needing consideration will be brought back at future public meetings. 

A copy of the agenda can be found here. Audio from the meeting will be uploaded to the Clerk's website at www.nassauclerk.com/watch-meetings.

Great job to County Manager Pope, the County Commissioners and other County staff for an informative and successful planning event.

Board Presents Resolution for Assistance During Hurricane Dorian

9/20/2019

0 Comments

 
9/20/19 @ 4:15 p.m. - At the Board of County Commissioner's meeting held on Wednesday, September 18, 2019, the Board presented Resolution No. 2019-140 commending government employees, agencies and individuals who assisted the County during Hurricane Dorian.

The room was filled with law enforcement personnel, first responders, employees and various agencies such as the Port Authority, Florida Department of Health, Florida Department of Transportation, School Board, Baptist Medical Center Nassau, among many, many others.

Chairman Justin Taylor expressed his gratitude to everyone for all their efforts and stated, "I know it was tough being away from your families and working hard for several days. I want the citizens to know that they were well taken care of should the storm had taken a catastrophic turn".

County Manager, Mike Mullin, echoed Chairman Taylor's sentiments, adding, "The public never gets the opportunity to see what happens at the Emergency Operations Center. If they did, they'd have an entirely different view. Sometimes the public feels irrirated whether it's a curfew that's been implemented or an evacuation order. They don't realize how many hours all these good men and women devote to listening to the Hurricane Center, to evaluating the information, to making decisions for the safety of the residents".
