Today is the deadline to volunteer to serve on the Escambia County Contractor Competency Board (CCB). Four applicants will be appointed for service beginning in November 2022.

The duties of the CCB include accepting contractor applications, administering contractor examinations, and issuing and recording Certificates of Competency and renewals; making an annual report; investigating complaints against contractors; and presiding over contractor disciplinary proceedings. CCB members serve a three-year term and meet the first Wednesday morning of every month for approximately two hours. Members receive $50 per meeting as compensation for their services.

CCB members are appointed from certain representative segments of citizens and professions, including contractors, design professionals, business persons, and lay persons. The Board of County Commissioners is currently seeking a lay consumer member.

A lay consumer member shall not at the time of appointment be, and shall have never previously been, a member or practitioner of a profession regulated by the board or a member of any closely related profession. The term “member of any closely related profession” includes but is not limited to carpenters, painters, certified building inspectors, commercial construction supervisors, interior designers/decorators, fencers, landscapers, building material suppliers, and construction quality managers.

    I was a contractor for 30 years in Florida and it’s those that do bad that makes the good ones suffer. I remember when the competency board was feared. Now they have become a bunch of wet noodles. For those folks out there getting ripped off by bogus contractors there is a recovery fund. Those out there that were a victim and the competency board sat on their hands you should think about naming them in a lawsuit. After all your tax dollars pay them. Escambia county sends you a property tax bill every year to which they demand payment. Demand they do there job !!!!

    The county was asleep at the wheel.
    Now they want to create a rehab blaming it over the entity they wasnt monitoring.
    Get rid of the sleepers and that would actually be a start.
    Then send them to narcolepsy anonymous.

    @Oversight, your many words add up to nothing, really.

    Competency and Board. Two words that should not be used together by either the commission or this entity. LOL!
