The Authority is a local governmental body created as a public body corporate and politic and constituted as a public instrumentality for the purposes of assisting in the development and maintenance of health facilities and projects as defined in Chapter 154, Part III, Florida Statutes, as amended. The Authority is created and authorized to act for the purpose of financing and refinancing projects as defined in the Health Facilities Authorities Law, Chapter 154, Part III, Florida Statutes, as amended, for the public purposes described in and in the manner provided by the Health Facilities Authorities Law, as amended.
The Authority shall be comprised of five members who are residents and electors of the County. After initial appointment, the term of office for each member shall be for four years. The Health Facilities Authority meets as needed at the Administrative Center.
The Administration Staff advised Michael Kenny that his term will expire on September 25, 2021. He was provided an Application for Appointment to complete and return if so desired. Mr. Kenny advised Administration Staff he does not want to be considered for re-appointment. Administration Staff will send Mr. Kenny a framed Certificate of Appreciation and Chair letter thanking him for his service; both will be signed by Chair Hetherington.
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. The Information Release was also posted to the County’s web page under News.
The Administration Staff will advise all the applicants of the Commission’s decision which will include Sunshine Law information to the appointed individual.
