Agenda 12/10/2013 Item #10F 12/10/2013 10.F.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners adopts the attached Resolution
which would set forth a rotation of the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners and
various other Boards.
OBJECTIVE: To eliminate the politics, and resulting ill will, sometimes associated with
naming a chair for the Board of County Commissioners and officers of other Boards, and to give
every Commissioner an equal chance to serve over time.
CONSIDERATIONS: My proposal is as follows:
Commencing with the Board's first meeting of January, 2014, the Commissioners of the
following Districts will hold the following offices:
District 1 - Chairman of the Community Redevelopment Agency
District 2 - Chairman of Community and Economic Development Board
District 3 - Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and member of the Value
Adjustment Board
District 4 - Vice Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and member of the
Value Adjustment Board
District 5 - Chairman of the Tourist Development Council
Thereafter, the chairs of these boards will rotate on a sequential basis, so that, as an
example, commencing with the Board's first meeting of January,2015, the Commissioners of the
following Districts will hold the following offices:
District 1 - Chairman of the Tourist Development Council
District 2 - Chairman of the Community Redevelopment Agency
District 3 - Chairman of Community and Economic Development Board
District 4 - Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and member of the Value
Adjustment Board
District 5 - Vice Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and member of the
Value Adjustment Board
The newly created Chairmanship of Community and Economic Development will be the
Community Development agency liaison for capital projects built by BCC for the benefit of
other constitutional officers such as the Sheriff who will be needing a Forensics facility; and, as
to economic development, this chair will act as the liaison to staff in assisting with corporate
recruitment efforts, to the Chamber acting as the county's economic development partner, to
SWFEDA with respect to promoting regionalism, and to the Regional Planning Council.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This proposed Resolution has been reviewed by the County
Attorney, is approved as to both form and legality, and requires majority vote. The Tourist
Development Council ordinance already authorizes the Board to designate the Chair to the TDC,
so no change to that ordinance would be required. I put in the language "to the extent that this
Resolution is in conflict with any other Resolution of the Board, this Resolution shall control"to
avoid any unintended conflict with prior Board policy. —JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners adopts the attached
Resolution which would set forth a rotation of the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners
and various other boards.
