St Johns County has made a very substantial investment in its County Administrator, 63-year-old Michael Wanchick, who relocated with his family to St Johns County for the job in 2007. With no advance notice to the public or media, Commission Chairman John “Jay” Morris added an agenda item during the Tuesday September 17th meeting of the Board of County Commissioners to review the County Administrator’s performance and award him with a $21,000 pay raise.
Donald Forgione, Director of the Florida Park Service, invited all Historic City News readers to join in the celebration of Florida’s Hispanic Heritage Month; September 15th through October 15th. Nowhere in the state is the significance and appreciation of Hispanic culture more central to our history than in St Augustine and St Johns County.
