Florida Ethics Commission complaints have been filed against at least three officials responsible for the City of St. Augustine Commission voting to spend $469,000 to buy 91-93 Coquina Avenue. The deal was inaccurately presented as necessary for flood control when all that was needed is a one week construction easement.
The location is ver near the twice-flooded Davis Shores homes of the City Manager JOHN PAtRICK REGAN, P.E. and two City Commissioners.
One whom, family law attorney and Vice Mayor LEANNA SPHIA AMARU FEEMAN, promiscuously promoted the deal on Facebook, stating that it would increase property values.
The Florida Ethics Commission will determine the sufficiency of the complaints and hold probable cause hearings, with advocates for prosecution appointed by the Florida Attorney General.
If probable cause is found, FEC would then send the cases to open public hearings before an independent Administrative Law Judge.
Conflict of interest and other unethical conduct are among the issues in the sworn complaints.
