body
DESCRIPTION
The Polk Regional Water Cooperative’s (PRWC) Formation Interlocal Agreement and the Project 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 Bill Mutz (Lakeland). Chairman Mutz has indicated he is not seeking office in the November municipal elections and will be leaving his position on the Lakeland City Commission in January 2026. He is willing to continue to serve as the PRWC Chairman through the November PRWC Board of Directors meeting. This allows the PRWC Board of Directors to consider modifying the officer term of service from the October 1, 2025 to December 1, 2025.
RECOMMENDATION
Request the BOD to adjust the officer service term from October 1, 2025 to December 1, 2025 and conduct elections at the November Board of Directors meeting.
