The Administration Staff advised Brian Powers that his term will expire on February 9, 2019.  Mr. Powers was provided an Application for Appointment to complete and return if so desired.

 

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 1,500 recipients).  The Information Release was also posted to the County’s web page under News.

Administration Staff confirmed through the Supervisor of Elections Office that all the applicants listed below are Martin County registered voters as required.

The Administration Staff will advise all the applicants of the Commission’s decision which includes Sunshine Law information to the appointed individual.  A Chair letter and framed Certificate of Appreciation will be mailed to Mr. Powers if not reappointed.  The Chairman will sign the letter and certificate.
