Jacksonville’s City Council is seeking an attorney to serve on the Public Nuisance Abatement Board.
Established under Chapter 672 of the city Municipal Code, the board works with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department to reduce nuisance activities and conditions that exist or repeatedly occur at properties and reduce quality of life.
The nine-member board will include a Florida Bar licensed attorney who is a Duval County resident to be appointed by the mayor, confirmed by Council, for a three-year term.
