Board of County Commissioners - 2 Lounts? ati State of Florida December 18, 2012 Doug Darling Florida Association of Counties 100 S. Monroe Street Tallahassee, FL 32301 RE: Self-Nomination of Commissioner Dave Parisot to Gulf Consortium Executive Committee The Okaloosa County Board of Commissioners heartily supports Commissioner Dave Parisot’s application to serve on the Executive Committee of the Gulf Consortium to deal with RESTORE Act issues. Commissioner Parisot has been our Board’s point man since November 2010 on the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process and project submission, the RESTORE Act process both before and subsequent to passage of this federal legislation, and on the Governor's Oil Spill Commission. In these capacities he has coordinated with commissioners and staff of other counties impacted by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and with Florida’s Congressional Delegation and staff in getting the RESTORE Act passed, and with FDEP staff on NRDA projects and priorities. This action was unanimously approved by the Board of Commissioners at our December 18, 2012 meeting. Sincerely, Don Amunds, Chairman Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners Courthouse 101 E.
