TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Approval of Parks Advisory Committee Members
DEPARTMENT: Public Works

STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Consideration of a proposed list of candidates for the Parks
Advisory Committee.
BACKGROUND: The Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance
No. 04-05 regulating County Recreation Areas in February 2004. The establishment of a Parks
Advisory Committee was included within this ordinance, for the purpose of advising the BOCC
and Parks Department 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.
The recently revised Parks Advisory Committee By-Laws created two At-large positions, at least
one of which must be filled by a citizen from the incorporated area.
Gloria Turner from the incorporated area of District 2 has submitted an application. She has
been very active at the Parks Advisory Committee meetings this year. Her application is
attached.
Mike WrightReynolds from District 4 has also submitted an application. He has been very
active at the Parks Advisory Committee meetings and has attended all their meetings this year.
His application is attached.
Preston Lee Bass from the incorporated area of District 3 has completed one three year term on
the committee and is interested in being appointed for an additional three year term.
OPTIONS: Approve / Disapprove.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve the appointment of Gloria Turner and Mike
WrightReynolds to the Parks Advisory Committee to serve three year terms in the newly created
At-large positions. Approve the reappointment of Preston Lee Bass to serve a three year term as
District 3 representative.
