Santa Rosa Island Authority to Hold Special Board Meeting

PENSACOLA, Fla.(February 11, 2021) — Last night, Wednesday, Feb. 10, the Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA) Board voted on the selection of a prospective Executive Director.
Once the meeting was concluded, an internal audit of the scoring cards was conducted, and it appears that no single candidate obtained four affirmative votes for the position of Executive Director, as required by the SRIA Special Act.
A special board meeting will be held in the next two weeks to discuss this circumstance.
