JUL 3 1984 BOOK 57 rn 552 <br />The Board of County Commissioners thereupon reconvened <br />at 10:15 o'clock A.M. with the same members present, Commis- <br />sioner Bowman being absent. <br />OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPOINTMENTS (Contd.) <br />Planning Director Robert Keating informed the Board <br />that there is no set criteria as to the number of people to <br />be appointed for each category; it is just required that you <br />have a representative committee, which he felt would mean <br />that we would have to have at least one for each category. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if it is required that there be <br />a certain number to pick from, and Director Keating stated <br />that it is not. He noted that when staff originally brought <br />the request to form the OEDP committee to the Board, it was <br />suggested that it be publicized in the media. A notice was <br />published, and the people listed in his memo of June 26th <br />are those who have contacted the County and indicated an <br />interest. <br />Discussion followed regarding the appointments, and <br />Commissioner Bird suggested that we wait until we have a <br />full slate to pick from. <br />Administrator Wright did not feel that we will get any <br />more applicants, and that is why staff is looking to the <br />Board for direction. <br />Considerable discussion followed in regard to <br />contracting various governmental and civic agencies for <br />nominees, i.e., the Indian River Farm Bureau, Extension <br />Agent Judith Wakefield, Florida Health Services, the County <br />Health Department, the Labor Council, the Gifford and <br />Wabasso Progressive Civic League, etc., and Chairman <br />Scurlock announced that action on these appointments would <br />be deferred until the next meeting after these groups can be <br />contacted. <br />24 <br />
