Manatee County Board of County Commissioners is taking applications for
interested persons to fill two Fire Commissioner Seats serving the
Myakka City Fire Control District. Our District has two fire
stations. Myakka Station 1 is on Wauchula Road, and Myakka
Station 2 is on State Road 70 at the south end of Verna Bethany Road.
There are two Commissioner seats that are up for appointment or
reappointment on the volunteer baord with each seat being a four year
term. The Fire Board oversees the fire district with the
authority to spend money, incur debt, as well as hire qualified fire
personnel. The Board meets monthly. Seats are district 2

Cacchiotti to see if you live in one of the needed districts. A
Fire Commissioner must live in the district of the seat that they
represent.
