Summary Explanation/Background
A. The Broward County HIV Health Services Planning Council's (HIV Council) membership is comprised of no more than 35 members in 12 different categories. Apart from the one Mayoral appointment, the HIV Council recommends individuals for nomination for County Commission appointment, by sending the Intergovernmental Affairs/Boards Section a letter. This letter contains the name(s) of the member(s) and categorical requirement that will be filled, as well as the date in which the HIV Council held its meeting approving the recommendation.
The Broward HIV Health Services Planning Council, at its April 28, 2022, meeting, voted unanimously to recommend the named nominees for appointment to the HIV Health Services Planning Council as members (see Exhibit 1):
1. Andrea Lanear in the “Non-affiliated Consumer” category
2. Semi Spencer in the “Non-affiliated Consumer” category
3. Shawn Jackson a.k.a. Shawn Tinsley in the “Hospital/Healthcare Planning Agencies” category
4. Johanne Casseus in the “Health Care Provider” category
5. Vincent Foster in the “Part C Grantee” category
Vincent Foster's seat on the Council is changing from the Health Care Provider category to the Part C Grantee category.
B. Approval of this item would give rise to certain employment conflicts under Section 112.313(7)(a), Florida Statutes, which provides that "no public officer...shall have or hold any employment or contractual relationship with any business entity...which is...doing business with an agency of which he or she is an officer or employee." In accordance with Section 112.313(12), Florida Statutes, Board approval is required to waive any conflict arising under Section 112.313(7)(a), Florida Statutes. An effective waiver requires a two-thirds vote of the County Commission after full disclosure of the conflicting relationship (Motion B). Forms 4A, Disclosure of Business Transaction, Relationship, or Interest, are attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and constitute full disclosure of any existing conflicts.
