BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:

 

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) is required pursuant to Section 7.1A.4.(5) of the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan.  The PRAB shall advise the Board of County Commissioners on the planning and implementation of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and make recommendations on programs, services, acquisition and uses of parkland, sports and recreation facilities as well as such other duties as may be assigned by the Board of County Commissioners.

 

In December 2015, the Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution No. 15-12.16 which reorganized the PRAB.  The PRAB now consists of nine members - each County Commissioner shall appoint one individual from his or her Commission District, and there are four at-large members.  Members shall not be employed by the County nor be related to a County employee or have a business relationship with Parks and Recreation Vendors.  Members shall be appointed for staggered terms of one and two years for initial appointments.  All other terms shall be for two years.

 

Resolution 19-4.8 adopted on April 9, 2019 eliminated the term limit language, amending when officers are elected, and clarified that filling a term as an officer is not considered a term as that officer.

 

The PRAB typically meets on the third Thursday of each month at 5:00 PM at the Indian Riverside Park or the Port Salerno Civic Center.  The agendas are published to the County’s web site in a timely manner.

Due to Mike Antheil missing more than 50% of the regularly scheduled or three consecutive meetings in any given calendar year (as outlined in the creating resolution), Commissioner Smith is appointing Jill Richardson to serve on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for a term to begin immediately and end April 8, 2023 (to complete Mr. Antheil’s term).

 

The Administration Staff will advise Mrs. Richardson of the Commission’s decision which will include Sunshine Law information.
