CITIZEN QUESTION AND COMMENT PERIOD Mr.
Vance Jochim, a resident of Tavares who writes a blog on fiscal issues,
addressed the Board regarding the County committees. He expressed there was a need for a more
organized approach in accumulating and presenting information to committee
members for them to make their recommendations to the BCC. He opined, after having attended meetings
for the Zoning Board, Tourism Development Council, and the Capital Facilities
Advisory Committee, that there was no real training of committee chairmen and
no structured approached to organizing information presented at the meetings. He remarked that by the committees not
having a clearly defined process for assembling data objectively to make
decisions leading to recommendations in their particular areas, it brought to
question the credibility of the information being presented to the
Board. He recommended the committee
chairmen be trained on how to facilitate and manage meetings to have
information organized. |

program through the Fish and Game Commission, explaining that it was a
