BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
On January 8, 2019 the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 19-1.1 which re-established the makeup of the Community Development Block Grant Citizen Advisory Task Force. The Task Force shall have the responsibilities as set forth in the Citizen Participation Plan concerning the Community Development Block Grant program and Section 73C-23.0041, F.A.C., as amended from time to time. The Task Force will meet to discuss community needs and make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. The Task Force is to provide input relative to all phases of the project process and offer recommendations as it deems appropriate.
The Task Force shall be composed of five members appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. Each member shall be a resident of unincorporated Martin County and no less than three members shall be from low to moderate income households as determined by income survey. The Task Force shall be representative of the community with regard to age, sex, race, and length of residence. None of the County Commissioners may be appointed to the Task Force, and only one member may be an employee of the County.
Members shall be appointed for staggered terms of one and two years for initial appointments. All other terms shall be for two years.
There have been two vacancies, therefore, Information Releases soliciting applicants were 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 2,600 recipients). The Information Releases were also posted to the County’s web page under News.
The Board is asked to appoint Julie Preast to the Community Development Block Grant Citizen Advisory Task Force as a Resident of Unincorporated Martin County for a term to begin February 25, 2020 and end February 24, 2022. The Administration Staff will advise Mrs. Preast of the Commission’s decision which will include Sunshine Law information.
