BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 19, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Approval of Parks Advisory Committee Member for At-Large Position
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Consideration of a proposed candidate for the Parks Advisory
Committee.
BACKGROUND: The Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance
No. 13-07 regulating County Recreation Areas. The establishment of a Parks Advisory
Committee was included within this ordinance, for the purpose of advising the BOCC and Parks
Division to improve various aspects of the county recreational system.
The members of the Parks Advisory Committee have been heavily involved in making parks and
recreation related recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners, doing research and
tapping their various contacts with the public to form these recommendations. This position on
the committee was vacated by the resignation of Mike WrightReynolds. Gerald Rush previously
served as a District 2 representative until leaving to care for a family member. That position
being filled, he has applied for appointment to the at-large vacancy on the committee.
OPTIONS: Approve / Disapprove.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff requests Board approval of the appointment of Gerald Rush to
the Parks Advisory Committee to serve out the remainder of Mike WrightReynolds three year
term as an at-large representative. This position expires on October 2015.
