INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />MEMORANDUM <br />To: Board of County Commissioners <br />Through: John Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />Prepared By: Brian Freeman, AICP; MPO Staff Director <br />Date: March 7, 2025 <br />Subject: Appointment of Board of County Commissioners Alternate to the MPO Citizens <br />Advisory Committee <br />It is requested that the information presented herein be given formal consideration by the Board <br />of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of March 25, 2025. <br />DESCRIPTION, CONDITIONS, AND ANALYSIS <br />The Metropolitan Planning Organization's Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is comprised of <br />sixteen members, of which five are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. The BCC - <br />appointed members are Juliana Young (CAC Chair), Chuck Mechling, Francine McElhenny, Erica <br />Ogilvie, and Mike Grim. <br />Recently, the CAC has had issues with reaching a quorum at meetings. This has been partially due <br />to vacancies on the committee and partially due to attendance by CAC members. In the last <br />month, the three vacancies have been filled—two by the City of Vero Beach and one by the City <br />of Fellsmere. <br />An additional option to assist the CAC with achieving quorum is to appoint an alternate to the <br />five BCC -appointed members. The alternate should be able to attend CAC meetings regularly, <br />since the alternate can substitute for any of the five BCC -appointed members. Recently, an <br />application was received by the following qualified applicant, whose resume is available for <br />review in the Commissioners' Front Office area: <br />• Anne H. Bert <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board appoint Anne H. Bert as the Board of County Commissioners <br />alternate to the MPO Citizens Advisory Committee. <br />C:\Granicus\Legistar5\L5\Temp\9f6084fd-b160-4d13-87dc-b8adbab 580dd.docx 228 <br />
