Title

CRA Board Appointments for the Chair and Chair Pro Tem (B)

Explanation

The Chair and Chair Pro Tem of the Gainesville CRA are chosen by the City Commission. Pursuant to Section 163.356(3) (c), Florida Statutes (attached), the City Commission appoints the Chair and Chair Pro Tem. Last year CRA Staff reminded the CRA Board that the selection process was to be made by the City Commission and CRA Staff placed an item on the City Commission agenda for their review and consideration. Traditionally, the appointments have been made in October of each year. However, the City Commission appoints members to other boards traditionally in May after the elections. The Board may also wish to consider when it is best for the City Commission to appoint the Chair and Chair Pro Tem of the CRA Board and if they would see value in aligning the City Board appointments.

Fiscal Note

None

Recommendation

CRA Executive Director to the Commission : 1. Appoint a Chair and Chair Pro Tem for the CRA Board and 2. Discuss aligning the appointments for the CRA Board with other General Government boards.
