Welcome to the Longboat Key Public Interest Committee
The Longboat Key Public Interest Committee (PIC) is a civic watchdog organization dedicated to promoting good local government,
encouraging fiscal responsibility, and protecting the environment. We are advocates for the homeowners and taxpayers, looking out for your interests whether you are here full or part time. PIC is non-profit and non-partisan, and gives no money to any candidate or cause.
PIC strives to maintain Longboat Key as a primarily residential community. This is partially accomplished by encouraging participation in its activities through membership, and attending local government commission and related public meetings. Over the years our island has generally had commissioners of intelligence and good judgment to direct its growth. PIC contributes with a careful analysis of issues and an independent voice of guidance. At election time, we review candidates of Town Commission and recommend those we feel are most qualified to serve the town. PIC communicates its findings and opinions through this web page, via email, and through its publication THE VOICE. We also provide news bulletins and reviews of commission meetings and workshops. 
Longboat Key is one of the most desirable residential communities in Florida or anywhere else. This has been accmplished through the work and involvement of many people, including concerted efforts by PIC. The result is seen in the value of Longboat Key properties. PIC's objectives help to those values.
PIC is managed by a Board of Directors, all of whom are volunteers and many of whom are involved in other civic and governmental organizations. |
