Do licensed Key Colony Beach city officials have the right credentials?

» Florida requires that certain county and municipal employees hold professional licenses. Florida statutes require independent financial audits of municipalities to be conducted by independent certified public accountants but do not require all city auditors to be CPAs. Other positions are more stringent. For example, building code administrators, inspectors, and plans examiners must be licensed to ensure compliance with building and construction codes; each county or municipality with fire safety enforcement responsibilities must employ a licensed firesafety inspector.

» The Florida Bar publishes attorney status and any disciplinary information. The Florida CFO has records of fire inspectors. The DBPR publishes license information for accountants, contractors, engineers, Realtors™, and many more, including our city officials. They have specific listings for building code administrators and inspectors and for certified public accountants. Each of these sites allows searches by name or other criteria.

Here are the five city officials required to have state licenses:
• Julio Buzzi, city auditor
• Willie Dominicak, city building inspector, fire inspector, and code officer
• Tony Loreno, city building official
• Dirk Smits, city attorney
• TBA, city engineer
