St. Augustine City Commissioner Errol Jones, 65, will seek re-election.

If he wins, which seems likely because he doesn't yet have an opponent, and completes his term, he will have served 10 years on the commission.

Jones is a dean at St. Augustine High School. He hopes to be re-elected so that he can see through several projects that started during his tenure, including the Bridge of Lions rehabilitation project and the San Sebastian Harbor condominium and hotel development.

"We're also dealing with (budget) cuts from the state and we have to continue to provide quality to our constituents with the cut in revenue," he said.

He also wants the city to create a 10-year plan to address infrastructure problems in the city, including replacing cobblestone streets.

City Commissioner Susan Burk has announced that she will not seek re-election. Commissioner George Gardner, whose term expires this year, has not announced his intentions. The other two commissioners, Mayor Joseph Boles Jr. and Vice Mayor Donald Crichlow, are in the middle of four-year terms and will not be up for re-election until 2010.
