At-Large board appointments are made available to County Commissioners according to the At-Large Board Rotation Procedures approved by the Broward County Commission.
The Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and Professional Standards (OIAPS) maintains a comprehensive list of at-large advisory board positions. The list of available at-large board positions is provided to each Commissioner in a specific rotation order. The at-large rotation order was determined by a draw held at the June 5, 2001, County Commission meeting. During each Commissioner's turn, he or she may nominate an individual to one board. The board position will then be deleted from the rotation list and any positions that become available will be added. The rotation list is sent to the next Commissioner on the rotation. After an unfilled board position has completed a full rotation (available to each Commissioner), the board position is removed from the rotation list and added to the list of “At-large board positions available to all Commissioners,” thereby allowing any Commissioner to nominate one or more individuals to the board position.
This agenda item allows for all commissioners to become aware of the available at-large positions that are immediately placed on the at-large list available to all commissioners, or have gone through a full rotation (see Exhibit 1). Any one commissioner may nominate to appoint or reappoint individuals to the multiple positions listed in Exhibit 1. OIAPS has reached out to the member whose term expired to see if he would like to be reappointed. Staff has been informed that the individual listed on the Public Safety Coordinating Council has expressed interest in continuing to serve and be reappointed. The Community Action Agency Advisory Board position is currently vacant.
After acceptance of this agenda item, a Commissioner wishing to appoint an individual to a board would submit a subsequent agenda item and resume of the individual to OIAPS. OIAPS submits the agenda item and resume to the County Attorney's Office for vetting. The County Attorney's Office sends a memorandum qualifying the individual to the commissioner's office. The commissioner's office then submits the agenda item with the memorandum of qualification for full County Commission approval.
If more than one nomination is submitted for the same position, the County Commission votes to determine which individual will be appointed. |
