K.4 12/14/2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to appoint a member to the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board. OBJECTIVE: To appoint a member to the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board to a three- year term expiring on April 4, 2025.

In addition, Resolution 2000-83 authorized the creation of Local Advisory Boards by separate resolution to assist in the implementation of the redevelopment plan.

The purpose of this committee is to be the primary vehicle for community and professional input to the CRA for matters relating to the Immokalee Redevelopment Area. Terms are 3 years. A list of the current membership is included in the backup. The committee bylaws as revised in CRA Resolution No. 2016-198 provide that the membership of this nine -member committee be distributed as follows: a) Two (2) Immokalee residents; b) Two (2) individuals representing Immokalee businesses; c) One (1) Immokalee Lighting and Beautification Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) Representative; d) One (1) individual representing a non-profit operating in the Immokalee Redevelopment Area; e) Three (3) at -large representatives who reside or engage in business, or both, in the Immokalee Redevelopment Area.
