PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT

PUBLIC WORKS IN THE COMMUNITY

Kaitlyn Ballard, Executive Assistant to the Public Works Director

Public Works Fleet Manager, Charles “Chuck” Penachio, was recently a guest speaker at the 2022 Florida APWA Leadership Training Program at Indian River State College. Chuck gave a presentation on Fleet Management which included all the interworking’s of a municipal Fleet Division and how it contributes to a successful Public Works Department.

Chuck previously graduated from the Florida APWA Leadership Training Program and was asked to be a speaker because of his expertise in the industry, his innovated ideas, and his passion for everything fleet. When Chuck was asked what presenting to the class meant to him, he said “After fortythree years in the transportation industry, I enjoy helping others and feel I have a responsibility to pass as much knowledge to the next generation as I can. Hopefully, his will help them take their careers to even greater heights and expand the fleet industry. I hope that I am having a positive impact and some of what I teach them is making a difference in their work and lives. After many years of learning and growing, it is time for me to give back.”

Chuck’s passion, drive, and dedication were notable in the success of the first course for the 2022 Florida APWA Leadership Training Program. A huge thank you goes to Indian River State College for letting Chuck and the City of Fort Pierce Public Works Department participate in the program. Chuck is one of several managers in the Public Works Department that go above and beyond for the Fort Pierce community, and we are very happy he is a part of the Public Works Team. The City of Fort Pierce Public Works Department and many of its employees participate in community lead initiatives, classes, events, and so much more. Thankfully, they are always willing to show up and help out when called upon.
