Previous Action Taken
Summary Explanation/Background
The listed advisory board members were appointed by former Commissioner Torey Alston to serve on their respective boards. Section 1-233(a)(2)(b), Broward County Code of Ordinances, provides that advisory board members who are not appointed for a fixed term continue to serve for six months after their nominating commissioner leaves office, by which time, the newly elected or newly-appointed commissioner may reappoint the incumbent or appoint a new member. If no action is taken, the seats become vacant six months after the new commissioner takes office. Commissioner Rogers is reappointing the specified advisory board members to their respective advisory boards.
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. Form 4A, Disclosure of Business Transaction, Relationship, or Interest, is attached hereto as Exhibit No. 1 and constitutes full disclosure of any existing conflicts.
