Background Information

 

This item was requested by Mark Frandsen and approved by the Commission on February 28, 2023. Mr. Matthews has been a true servant leader in our community for decades. He has been a business owner in North Port since 1971. He was the only North Port City resident to be elected to both the Sarasota County Commission and the Sarasota County School Board. He founded the North Port Boys and Girls Club and one of the City’s food banks.
