Affordable housing committee selects Leslie Olsen and Andrea Hare as new members

The Fort Pierce City Commission held a regular meeting on April 7, 2025, where key discussions centered around the selection of new members for the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee.

The meeting began with a structured process for selecting two candidates for the committee, emphasizing the importance of the order in which they were chosen. The first candidate selected would earn two points, while the second would receive one point.

Commissioners proceeded to eliminate previously selected candidates, including Mister Banks, Keandria Davis, and Carrie Ann Brown, among others. The remaining candidates were then considered for selection.

Commissioner Broderick initiated the selection by choosing Leslie Olsen for two points and Phil Thompson for one point. Other commissioners followed suit, with Leslie Olsen consistently being chosen as a top candidate. Andrea Hare also received multiple nominations throughout the selection process.

Ultimately, the new members of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee were confirmed as Mister Banks, Miss Jones, Miss O'Brien, Miss Bacardi, Miss Brown, Miss Davis, Miss Hare, and Miss Olsen.

The meeting concluded with a clear outcome regarding the committee's composition, reflecting the commission's commitment to addressing affordable housing issues in the community. Further actions or follow-ups were not detailed in the transcript.
