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 received a notification of resignation from Christina Flores in February 2020. Per previous Board direction, Administration Staff sent Ms. Flores a Certificate of Appreciation and a letter thanking her for serving which were signed by the Chairman.
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 2,600 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 the applicant is a Martin County registered voter as required.
The Board is asked to appoint Melissa Pietrzyk to the Industrial Development Authority for a term to begin April 21, 2020 and end September 14, 2022.
The Administration Staff will advise Melissa Pietrzyk of the Commission’s decision which includes Sunshine Law information.
