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 (NAC):
Golden Gate Neighborhood Advisory Committee - 7 members
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).
The Administration Staff advised the following that their terms will expire on September 11, 2019. The incumbents were provided an Application for Appointment to complete and return if so desired.
Joseph Hatton, III - Golden Gate NAC
Ken Natoli - Old Palm City NAC
Debra Harsh - Rio NAC
There were still two vacancies on the Jensen Beach NAC.
An Information Release soliciting applicants for the Jensen Beach, Golden Gate, Old Palm City, and Rio NACs was emailed via Constant Contact to the Outreach Martin, Local Media, and past CARES graduates email lists which includes local Chambers of Commerce, local businesses, and citizens (well over 2,600 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
ii. A resident of Martin County, as evidenced by being a registered voter in Martin County for at least one year, who is also a business owner of a business located within the respective Community Redevelopment Area; or
iii. A resident of Martin County, as evidenced by being a registered voter in Martin County for at least two years, who is also a senior manager of a business located within the respective Community Redevelopment Area; 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 a Martin County registered voter as required.
The Administration Staff will advise all the applicant of the Commission’s decision which will include Sunshine Law information to the appointed individuals. Chair letters and Certificates of Appreciation will be mailed to any members not reappointed. The Chair will sign the letters and certificates.

There is only one position open on the Golden Gate Neighborhood Advisory Committee, therefore, the Board is asked to appoint one of the following for a term to begin September 12, 2019 and end September 11, 2023 (voting sheet attached).
