The MyEscambia Contractor Competency Board met November 4, 2026. No procurement, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified; the meeting focused on contractor licensing and enforcement. The board approved Louis Moye to take the building contractor examination and approved Eric Shields’s reinstatement of a delinquent license. It tabled a complaint against Renovation Masters LLC to the next meeting after the contractor obtained permits for canopy work, leaving time for the work to proceed. In a separate complaint, the board voted to send all alleged violations involving Jose Barrios of First Eagle Construction and Roofing LLC to a disciplinary hearing; the allegations included retaining a $7,000 deposit without completing roofing work and a suspension imposed by Santa Rosa County for work outside the scope of his license.

The board found Brett Smith of Apex Plumbing LLC in violation for performing work without the required plumbing permit and imposed a $1,500 fine and 10-day suspension; it also voted for no further action after Smith paid a previously imposed $1,000 fine. The board approved adding the election of officers to the agenda and voted to retain the current chair and vice chair. These licensing and disciplinary decisions affect contractors’ eligibility to work, but no changes to procurement policy or contracting rules were made.
