Discussion ensued over the advantages and disadvantages of government-sponsored <br />committees, saving money, and the costs/expenses for various committees. <br />Commissioner Flescher stressed the importance of various committees, the information <br />they bring to the Board for better decisions, and the means for advising the Board on the interests <br />of the community. He believed dissolving/sunsetting the Historic Resources Advisory <br />Committee would eliminate a valuable process of expertise, as well as cost saving measures. <br />Further discussion ensued regarding committee origins, smaller government, economics, <br />the Board relying on existing organizations for advice, the appreciation of and for committee <br />volunteers, duplication and broadening the scope of certain committees, the operation of <br />private/public committees, the cost involved for staff to attend committees, and designating ad <br />hoc, growth awareness, and/or task force committees to deal with the issues. <br />Barbara Drndak, 406 33rd Avenue S.W., was in attendance for the fire tower issue, Item <br />12.A. I., but decided to speak in support of Citizen Advisory and Ad Hoc committees. She felt <br />commissions and advisory committees were a way to give to the local community, and the <br />essence of good local government. She urged the Board to consider the committees as the <br />public's opportunity to participate in their government, reiterated that it provides the Board with <br />an opportunity to hear a synopsis and recommendation of issues without staff having to sit <br />through the committee meetings, and asked the Commissioners to implement a format that would <br />allow individuals to bring their issues directly to the Board. <br />Ms. Drndak endorsed the preservation of the fire tower located at the northwest corner <br />of 4th Street and 43rd Avenue, and indicated a willingness to organize a "Friends of the Tower" <br />volunteer group to assist with funding issues. She said her intent was for the property to be <br />recognized as a historic site, and ensure that the tower is registered with the National Historic <br />Lookout Register, as well as the Florida Master Site File of the Florida Division of Historic <br />Preservation. <br />17 <br />May 4, 2010 <br />
