COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIPS <br />The Board reviewed memo from Commissioner Macht dated July 21, <br />1993: <br />July 21, 1993 <br />Hon. Richard N. Bird, Chairman <br />Indian River County Board of Commissioners <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, F1 32960 <br />Dear Dick: <br />The Commission is aware that some individuals have been <br />serving on a number of committees over a long period. This <br />practice, whatever its origin, has the negative effect of <br />denying greater and more diverse participation from the <br />generality of County citizens. <br />A reasonable policy would, in my opinion, limit <br />committee membership to a single committee except in the <br />case where a person, by virtue of their office, would be <br />required to serve on more than one. This would generally <br />apply to elected officials and possibly some appointed <br />governmental officials. <br />If you concur, please enter this item on the next <br />available agenda under my matters or wherever appropriate. <br />Yours ly, <br />Kenneth R. Macht <br />County Commissioner <br />Commissioner Eggert thought the exception would be the ex <br />officio seats where organizations repeatedly send the same <br />individual to fill that seat. The Board has no control over those <br />representatives. <br />Commissioner Macht agreed, and explained that his point was <br />directed to appointments of private citizens. <br />Chairman Bird suggested, and the Board members agreed, that in <br />the future we will attempt to fill committees with people who are <br />not serving on existing committees. <br />EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT <br />The Chairman announced that immediately upon adjournment the <br />Board would reconvene sitting as the Board of Commissioners of the <br />Emergency Services District. <br />Those Minutes are being prepared separately. <br />67 <br />�� � BOOK 90 FIAGE103 <br />
