MONROE COUNTY TERMINATES VOLUNTEER ADVISOR ROMAN GASTESI’S POSITION FOLLOWING GRAND JURY INDICTMENT

MONROE COUNTY, FL—The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners was made aware this morning of a grand jury indictment issued against Monroe County’s former County Administrator Roman Gastesi. Gastesi has been volunteering with the County since his retirement in February 2024. His volunteer position was terminated as of this morning.

Since Gastesi’s retirement, Kevin Wilson has been the Acting County Administrator and will continue in the position. Wilson has been with the County for 18 years.

“County operations will continue as they have for the past six months. These are serious criminal charges, and we are taking these allegations very seriously,” said Wilson. “We will follow due process while we await formal court proceedings. Our first priority is to ensure that the County’s services continue for our residents and visitors without interruptions.”

The Board of County Commissioners has an add-on item to discuss the indictments at the next meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 21.
