The Fort Pierce Board of Examiners of Contractors convened on August 12, 2025, to discuss important updates regarding the board's composition and recruitment efforts. The meeting highlighted a recent ordinance adopted by the city commission in July, which officially reduced the board's membership to five members.

Currently, the board is operating with two vacancies: one for a consumer representative and another for a licensed contractor. Despite the city issuing a press release to advertise these openings, there have been no responses to date. Efforts to fill these positions include outreach to the Treasure Coast Builders Association, which has been approached for assistance in recruiting suitable candidates.

The board remains committed to finding qualified individuals to fill these roles, emphasizing the importance of having a fully staffed board to effectively oversee contractor regulations in the area. The ongoing recruitment efforts will continue as the board seeks to enhance its membership and functionality.
