Agenda 03/09/2021 Item #10A (Board schedule/foregoing summer break)10.A 03/09/2021 Recommendation that the Board adjusts its current schedule and foregoes the summer break in 2021 to better accommodate the needs of the community. OBJECTIVE: That the Board hold regular meetings during the upcoming summer months. CONSIDERATIONS: Like all local governments throughout this nation, the current pandemic has wrought havoc not only on our local business, but County business as well. Our advisory boards have been having a difficult time attaining a quorum. I expect that this will be especially true for land use matters, and budget issues, the approval of which are vital to our community. Given the backlog of items, and our upcoming hiring of a new County Manager, it is my belief that the residents of Collier County would be best served if this Board foregoes its customary summer break and a second meeting in November could be added as well. Commissioners who have made preexisting commitments can attend those meetings remotely. Therefore, I propose we continue our regular schedule of 2 meetings per month until such time as it is no longer requisite. FISCAL. IMPACT: This action will have no fiscal impact to the County. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this Executive Summary. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK RECOMMENDATION. That the Board adjusts its current schedule and instead conducts regular meetings during the summer. PREPARED BY: William L.
