Title
Nomination by the Alachua County School Board of Theresa Spurling-Wood as a Non-Voting Member of the Utility Advisory Board (NB)
Explanation
On August 2, 2018, the City Commission passed on second reading Ordinance 170808, which amends the Utility Advisory Board Code Provisions. Among the changes was inclusion of a provision to invite the Alachua County Commission and the Alachua County School Board to each nominate a representative to sit as a non-voting member on the Utility Advisory Board. The City Commission sent a letter of invitation to both bodies during the week of August 27, 2018.
The School Board responded to the UAB and staff that they want Gunnar Paulson to represent the School Board. The Commission considered this nomination at their September 20, 2018 regular meeting and voted to send another letter requesting that the School Board nominate someone other than an elected official.
On October 17, 2018, the School Board notified staff via email that they wish to nominate Theresa Spurling-Wood, CEM, CIE, GGP, LEED AP, Director of Energy Systems for Alachua County Public Schools.
