Overall Economic Development Plan Committee (OEDP) <br />In July 1984, the Board of County Commissioners appointed 12 <br />members to this committee which was formed for the purpose <br />of preparing an overall economic development plan for the <br />County so that the County could be designated as a <br />redevelopment area under the Public Works and Economic <br />Development Act of 1965, thus qualifying the County for <br />various types of financial assistance available from the <br />Economic Development Agency. According to the minutes of <br />the April 12, 1984 Board meeting, this was to be an Ad -Hoc <br />Committee which would be dissolved within 2 or 3 months. <br />The Extension Overall Advisory Committee <br />The Extension Overall Advisory Committee is a part of the <br />University of Florida's Extension Program with the County <br />and is comprised of 5 appointees from each Commission <br />District as well as 8 representatives from various <br />agricultural industries within the County and <br />representatives of the various Extension Programs. <br />Currently the 8 members which are not appointed by the <br />Board represent agriculture, the Livestock Show 8 Sale <br />Program, Citrus, Agricultural Finance, 4-H, Homemakers, <br />Master Gardeners, as well as at -large members. The council <br />meets twice a year to address extension program issues and <br />needs. Since this Committee is active, the Board will need <br />to formally designate its current representatives, if such <br />action was not taken at the January 9th meeting. <br />SPB/sb <br />Assistant County Attorney Sharon Brennan explained that <br />apparently the Board of County Commissioners began appointing <br />public officials or representatives to the EOC as a courtesy, and <br />the practice has been that each Commissioner has appointed a <br />representative from his district. <br />Commissioner Scurlock wanted to cull that back as he felt an <br />adequate level of participation would be to have one <br />representative from the Board of County Commissioners to serve as <br />our liaison. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED, -.by <br />Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously appointed <br />Commissioner Bowman as the Board's representative on <br />the Economic Opportunity Council. <br />39 <br />BOOK, r( 6 F�1GE <br />'� N�� _J'J <br />
