About Vinny.
My name is Vinny Barile and I am running for the vacant seat on the Sewall’s Point Commission.
I am a Navy Veteran – 4 years active duty and 2 years inactive in Naval Aviation. I have been a resident of Sewall’s Point for 23 years. I believe I have the leadership skills and experience to fill that vacant seat.
- During the 8 years (2012-2020) as a Sewall’s Point Commissioner, I was Mayor for 1 year; Vice Mayor for 1 year
- As Mayor, I was instrumental in raising funds which helped purchase playground equipment for our Town Park. I also sponsored a Kickoff event which helped secure more dollars towards our park.
- I was appointed by the Town Commission to the Metropolitan Planning Organization in 2015 serving a total of 5 years. Of those 5 years, I was elected Chairman for 2 years. This allowed me to work with the Florida Dept. of Transportation on many issues – one was securing the green bike lane in Sewall’s Point at no cost to the Town.
- Instrumental in securing a grant to reduce the cost of sewer conversion on A1A and North Sewall’s Point Road
- Helped secure reliable fire, EMT and paramedic service thru 2030
- President of the Treasure Coast Regional League of Cities
- Vice Chair of the Treasure Coast Council of Local Governments
- Appointed to Legislative Committee for the Florida League of Cities and a Voting Delegate
- Served on the Municipal Administration Committee for the Florida League of Cities
- Part of the Advocacy Team for the Treasure Coast Regional League of Cities, which fought for issues affecting our Cities and Towns
- Selected as Home Rule Hero 4 years in a row by the Florida League of Cities
These are some of the reasons I believe I would be an asset to the Town as your Commissioner. EXPERIENCE MATTERS!
As in the past, some of my goals are
- Protect our quality of life
- Maintain a strong Police Dept.
- Work to be fiscally responsible with our budget
- Not to raise taxes and avoid any mandatory assessments
- Only take on projects the Town can afford
- Remain transparent on issues facing the Town
- Be available to our residents to listen to their concerns and issues
As your commissioner, I would be representing you, the residents of Sewall’s Point.
I am humbly asking for your vote on March 19, 2024.
Thank you,
Vinny Barile
