Today is National Custodial Appreciation Day and we would like to extend our gratitude to all of our custodians for all they do to keep our facilities clean for both the staff and the public. Their job has been especially hard since the onset of COVID-19 as they have worked tirelessly to sanitize our facilities in an effort to keep everyone safe and prevent further spread of the virus.

Passing of Bill Howard

9/23/21 @ 12:00 p.m. - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our employees, Bill Howard.

Bill had worked for Nassau County since 2003 and was serving as a Facilities Supervisor at the time of his passing. In his position, Bill worked at the Judicial Complex where he oversaw maintenance of the Robert M. Foster Justice Center, the jail, the Sheriff's Administration Building and the Emergency Operations Center. He was also responsible for ensuring that the County's HVAC systems were working properly in ALL county buildings. He supervised facilities staff that worked with the HVAC systems, serving as a mentor to those in the apprenticeship program earning HVAC certifications.

Most recently, Bill had been accepted to the Chamber's Leadership Nassau Program. He was excited to learn more about the County as a whole and networking with other future leaders in the community.

Bill was an outstanding employee to the County but even more than that, he was an outstanding role model and friend to many. He will be greatly missed by all of us.

Bill leaves behind his wife Denise Howard, daughter Christina (Caleb) Hodges, sister Angie (Mark) Glisson, parents William Howard Sr., and Brenda Howard, granddaughter Delilah Hodges, and many nieces and nephews. Please keep all of them in your prayers during this difficult time. Bill's obituary can be found here.

Submitting Work Orders for Roads and/or Facilities

8/16/2021

4 Comments

 
8/16/21 @ 9:30 a.m. - In case you missed it!

In February 2021, we issued a Press Release about a new software, Asset Essentials, that the County is now utilizing to streamline maintenance requests. This software allows residents to submit maintenance requests for county facilities and/or parks, as well as maintenance requests for roads, drainage, or bridge issues, through our official website, www.nassaucountyfl.com.

This cloud-based computerized maintenance management software prioritizes, schedules and manages tasks and also allows technicians to monitor and track work orders on-the-go utilizing a mobile application. The most exciting feature of the software is the ability for residents to monitor their work order, beginning to end. All you have to do is create a user account and you will receive email updates as your work order progresses through the system.

Attached is a step-by-step guide that will help you in creating your account and submitting work orders.

If you have any questions, please contact Administrative Coordinator, Raven Jones, at (904) 530-6120 or via email at rmjones@nassaucountyfl.com.

Improvements at County Beach Front Parks

6/10/2020

1 Comment

 
6/10/20 @ 3:45 p.m.

As many of you are aware, the County beach front parks, Peters Point, Burney Park and Scott Road, are three of the most heavily used beach front parks on the island. Over the past few months, Facilities and Parks Staff have been busy doing improvements at all three locations.

Peters Point
  • Parking lot re-striped
  • Bathrooms painted and floors refinished with epoxy coating for extended durability

Scott Road
  • Parking lot re-striped

Burney Park
  • New turtle friendly lighting added to sidewalk areas
  • Parking lot re-striped
  • Bathrooms painted and floors refinished with epoxy coating
  • Wooden boardwalk decking and railing replaced with composite decking, a durable material that is weather and mold resistant and requires very little maintenance
  • Aluminum grab rails to be installed to boardwalk within the next few weeks
  • Turtle friendly parking lot lights currently being installed

We trust that our residents and visitors are excited about these improvements and that their beach experience has been enhanced because of them. We also appreciate all the hard work from our Facilities and Parks employees. While it's nice to be outside during the day and working close to the beach, the heat definitely makes it more challenging. These employees do their work with pride and without complaints. They are truly a great team!
