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.
