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 Project Boards and the Regular BOD elect the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Secretary/Treasurer to serve for a term of one year starting October 1. 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 of the PRWC Regular BOD is George Lindsey (Polk County). The Vice-Chairman is Bill Mutz (Lakeland) and the Secretary/Treasurer is Nathanial Birdsong (Winter Haven). All three have served two consecutive one-year terms in these positions. Therefore, under the Interlocal Agreement, the current Vice-Chairman (Bill Mutz) will become the Chairman, the Secretary/Treasurer (Nathanial Birdsong) 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 FY2025 (beginning October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025).
FISCAL IMPACT
