body
DESCRIPTION
The Polk Regional Water Cooperative’s (PRWC) Formation Interlocal Agreement and the Implementation Agreements have essentially the same provisions regarding Board of Director’s (BOD) officers. Both the Regular Cooperative Board, Combined Projects Board, Southeast Wellfield Project Board, and the West Polk Project Board elect a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Secretary/Treasurer to serve for a term of one year. Each officer may serve two consecutive one-year terms, if re-elected. The Chairman shall be rotated at the end of each term so that the Vice-Chairman shall replace the Chairman, unless the Chairman is re-elected to a second consecutive one- year term and a new Vice-Chairman and Secretary/Treasurer shall be elected each year.
The current Chairman on the PRWC West Polk Wellfield Project BOD is Steve Githens (Bartow), the Vice-Chairman is George Lindsey (Polk County), and the Secretary/Treasurer is Bill Mutz (Lakeland). Mr. Githens has resigned his seat as Chairman; therefore, new officers need to be selected. As described under the Interlocal agreement, the current Vice-Chairman (George Lindsey) will become the Chairman, the Secretary/Treasurer (Bill Mutz) will become the Vice-Chairman, and a new Secretary/Treasurer will need to be elected.
RECOMMENDATION
Request the BOD to elect a Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Secretary/Treasurer for the remainder of FY2024 (through September 30, 2024).
FISCAL IMPACT
