BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The Industrial Development Authority was created pursuant to Resolution No. 81-6.4. The County Commission shall appoint members to the Industrial Development Authority pursuant to law. Each of the persons appointed as members shall serve for the term for which he/she is appointed and in each case until his/her successor is appointed and qualified. A member of the Industrial Development Authority shall be eligible for reappointment. All appointees shall serve four year terms. Any member may be removed by the County Commission for misfeasance, malfeasance, or willful neglect of duty.
The Business Development Board staff serves as the liaison to the Industrial Development Authority. Meetings are held as needed.
The Administration Staff advised E. Daniel Morris, George Haley, and S. Tucker Johnson that their terms will expire on September 14, 2018. The incumbents were provided an Application for Appointment to complete and return if so desired. Mr. Morris has advised that he will not be re-applying due to time constraints and other obligations.
An Information Release soliciting applicants was emailed via Constant Contact to the Outreach Martin and Local Media email lists which includes local Chambers of Commerce, local businesses, local media, and citizens (well over 1,000 recipients). The Information Release was also posted to the County’s web page under News.
The Administration Staff will advise all of the applicants of the Commission’s decision which includes Sunshine Law information to the appointed individuals. A Chair letter and framed Certificate of Appreciation will be mailed to Mr. Morris and any other members not reappointed. The Chairman will sign any letters and certificates.
