# St. Lucie County BOCC Regular Meeting, Nov. 10, 2026

The St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners’ regular meeting was held November 10, 2026, following special district meetings. Flooding and recovery dominated public comment, with residents asking for drainage assessments, infrastructure repairs, and accountability. On the consent agenda, commissioners approved routine warrants and other items; they noted that a HANDS Clinic contract had been pulled so contract details could be finalized, despite the urgency of services for flood-affected residents. Commissioners also reported that funding for the long-planned Lakewood Park drainage project was available and work was expected to begin. No amount was stated. A proposed agricultural enclave certification was continued to December 15, and the Country Cove RV park proposal was continued to the same date to allow another neighborhood meeting. The Midway K future land-use amendment was denied 3–2 after concerns about wetlands, flooding, and neighborhood compatibility; the associated rezoning item was therefore not considered.

The board approved the Nature’s Creation Mulch expansion and the Blue Bayou future land-use amendment. It also approved an updated vehicles-for-hire ordinance and fee schedule, including a $1,000 initial two-year certificate, $750 annual renewal, $100 per-vehicle permit, $75 safety inspection, and $500 ownership-change fee. The ordinance establishes updated licensing, background-check, vehicle-safety, and operational requirements for covered transport providers. Flood-related discussion included calls to pursue state and federal assistance and a commissioner’s proposal to develop authority for the county to repair neglected culverts during emergencies and assess costs to property owners; this was a follow-up item, not an adopted policy. A possible Creekside Community Development District purchase-and-sale agreement was mentioned by its attorney as a potential source of funds and a way to reduce density in future phases, but it was not a county procurement action or board decision.
