Caragiulo to Call for Snyder Appointment on City Commission

Posted by Jacob Ogles on Friday Aug 29, 2014 7:59 am

Sarasota CIty Commissioner Paul Caragiulo on Tuesday will raise the issue of re-appointing City Commissioner Shannon Snyder to a board both had to resign from to run for higher office. Caragiulo on Tuesday defeated Snyder in the Republican primary for Sarasota County Commission District 2.

Florida's resign-to-run law required both city commissioners to resign their posts effective in November in order to run for the county commission. The resignation, effective in November, cannot be rescinded. However, the City Commission is allowed to re-appoint the same person to the vacated post.

"It would make a lot of sense, providing he wants to do it, and there is only one way to find out," Caragiulo said. "My intention is to keep things relatively stable."

Snyder could not be reached for comment.

Of course, the Sarasota City Commission before the primary already laid out a plan for finding replacements to fill both Caragiulo's and Snyder's seats on the board. The city will begin accepting applications for the post starting Tuesday and the commision planned to make the appointment in November, after both commissioners leave the board.

Caragiulo faces independent Alexandra Coe and two write-in candidates in the county commission election, escheduled for Nov. 4.
