Agenda 12/12/2023 Item #16K 1 (Resolution - Reclassify and appoint 2 members to the Collier County Citizen Corps.)12/12/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to reclassify one member and appoint two new members to the Collier County Citizen
Corps. (This is a companion to item 9A)
OBJECTIVE: To reclassify a current member, and appoint two new members to the Collier County Ci tizen
Corps.
CONSIDERATIONS: This 9 member committee was established by Ordinance No. 02-56, as amended, to advise
the Board of County Commissioners on all hazards preparedness and other related issues; to act as a coordinating
agency for activities that support an all hazards approach to threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to Collier
County; to assist in the recruitment of volunteers by publicizing and expanding existing community programs; to
assist in achieving and maintaining accreditation through the Emergency Management Accreditation Program; to
facilitate communication between Collier County & State & Federal agencies on all hazards activities, as well as to
enable Collier County to identify outside resources such as grants, training opportunities and equipment. The
committee members represent various community organizations. Each member shall be considered a liaison
between their respective organization and the committee, and shall be recommended by their organization to the
Board of County Commissioners for consideration for appointment to the committee for a four year term. A list of
the current membership is included in the backup.
This committee has historically had difficulty filling several of its seats. A companion item on today’s agenda
(agenda ID 27338) is intended to provide a solution to this issue by amending two seat categories listed in the
Citizen Corps ordinance.
Current member Ashley Jones has served on this committee since 2021 as a representative of The Salvation Arm y.
Ms. Jones is no longer employed by The Salvation Army, but is now employed by United Way. Ms. Jones desires
to continue serving on the Collier County Citizen Corps, and the President and CEO of United Way of Collier and
the Keys, Tiffani Mensch, recommends her appointment as their representative. This agenda item recommends that
Ms. Jones be reclassified as a representative of United Way for the remainder of her current term, which will expire
on November 5, 2026.
The reclassification of Ms. Jones to United Way representative will leave a vacancy in the Salvation Army
category. Captain William J. Conley of The Salvation Army recommends the appointment of Lisa Loren as the
Salvation Army representative.
For the new category representing Community Organization Active in Disaster (COAD), President Eileen
Connolly-Keesler of the Collier Community Foundation recommends the appointment of Ashley Maher as the
COAD representative.
