Mayor Linda Hudson and the Fort Pierce City Commission presented a proclamation on April 21 honoring John “Jack” Andrews for nearly 31 years with the city’s engineering and public-works programs.

The proclamation noted Andrews began his career with the city’s engineering department in June 1994 and for three decades served in roles including assistant city engineer, city engineer and deputy city manager of public services. The proclamation recognized his professional licensure, membership in the Florida Engineering Society and the Florida Stormwater Association, and said he had been instrumental in the implementation of many city projects.

Andrews addressed the commission, thanked staff and elected officials and noted he and his wife have called Fort Pierce home for 40 years. Commissioners praised his institutional knowledge, calm demeanor and role in projects including Moores Creek cleanup, Veterans Memorial Park, Jetty Park and stormwater work with state and federal partners. “His level of service and care for the city is unmatched,” Commissioner Broderick said during the remarks.

The commission and staff will present photographs and a certificate of appreciation; Andrews is scheduled to retire April 23.
