ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Davis, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved <br />out of county travel for Commissioner Peter O'Bryan to <br />attend the MPOAC Weekend Institute for Elected Officials, <br />in Tampa, on Friday, April 25, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. until <br />Sunday, April 27, 2008, at noon, as recommended in the <br />memorandum of February 4, 2008. <br />7.G. MODIFY RESOL UTION 2008-003 ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br />COUNCIL <br />Commissioner Flescher wanted to assign a citizen of Indian River County to serve on the <br />Workforce Development Board. He surmised that vested interest should be a local citizen as <br />opposed to a citizen from another jurisdiction. He felt there were enough members in this County <br />that would like the opportunity to serve on the Board. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan clarified that of the eighteen (18) positions, they were requesting <br />one member's residential requirement to be waived since the Treasure Coast Workforce Board is <br />considered a "Regional Board." He said that the Treasure Coast Workforce Board felt Director <br />Glenda Thompson's input was important to the Council; therefore, he requested the <br />recommendation go through as presented. <br />Discussion ensued as to whether Ms. Thompson could be an ex -officio member. The <br />Board also expressed concerns over regional perspective, capitalizing and improving economic <br />development, whether to amend the Resolution, and stipulations as to where the member resides. <br />7 <br />February 12, 2008 <br />
