BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
On September 11, 2018 the Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution 18-9.29 which sets the number of members for each Neighborhood Advisory Committee:

Hobe Sound Neighborhood Advisory Committee - 7 members
Jensen Beach Neighborhood Advisory Committee - 5 members
Old Palm City Neighborhood Advisory Committee - 9 members
Port Salerno Neighborhood Advisory Committee - 7 members
Rio Neighborhood Advisory Committee - 7 members
On November 20, 2018, Resolution Number 18.11.18 was adopted increasing the number of members of the Port Salerno Neighborhood Advisory Committee from seven (7) to nine (9).
Administration Staff then prepared an Information Release soliciting applicants specifically for four Neighborhood Advisory Committees. It 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 (over 1,500 recipients). The Information Release was also posted to the County’s web page under News.
To qualify, Neighborhood Advisory Committee applicants must be an individual who is either:
i. A resident of the respective Community Redevelopment Area, as evidenced by being a registered voter in the respective Community Redevelopment Area for at least one year, or

iv. A resident of Martin County, as evidenced by being a registered voter in Martin County for at least one year, who also owns real property within a mile of the respective Community Redevelopment Area. No more than two members of any respective Neighborhood Advisory Committee will be appointed from category iv. above.
Administration Staff confirmed through the Supervisor of Elections Office that all the applicants are Martin County registered voters as required.
The Administration Staff will advise all the applicants of the Commission’s decision which will include Sunshine Law information to the appointed individuals.
