RESOLUTION NO. 15-21, A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF
TEQUESTA, FLORIDA, AMENDING RESOLUTION 21-19 VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE; INCORPORATING TERMS OF OFFICE; PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
In 2020, Council requested that I advertise all terms that expire to the Village residency as a whole to
give others the opportunity to volunteer on these boards rather than just simply renewing incumbent
terms.
As I was working on this, I realized, all our boards and committees have set expiration dates for each
member, with the exception of the EAC. This means they will serve until removed or until the
committee is disbanded. This does not serve in the spirit of what Council asked last May.
recommend we update the Resolution and incorporate three year staggered terms (like the rest of
the committees).
