Appointment of Value Adjustment Board Alternate Member and Chairperson for Final Meeting
body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Florida Statute Section 194.015 Value Adjustment Board (VAB) directs that a quorum for the VAB shall constitute any three members of the board, except that each quorum must include at least one member of said governing board, at least one member of the school board, and at least one citizen member and no meeting of the board shall take place unless a quorum is present. It is also directed that the members of the board may be temporarily replaced by other members of the respective boards on appointment by their respective chairpersons.
The Value Adjustment Board is scheduled to hold the final meeting of the 2024 season on Friday, March 14, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Due to scheduling conflicts, the two Board of County Commissioners on the VAB are not available to attend. The school board member and two citizen members have confirmed their attendance and proper legal advertisement for the meeting has already taken place.
VAB administration is requesting that the BOCC Chairman appoint an alternate member to the Value Adjustment Board. This member will also be acting Chairman for the Value Adjustment Board's final meeting. By appointing an alternate member to the VAB in lieu of rescheduling the meeting, county funds will be saved in the costs of readvertising the meeting and the cost of additional legal fees to VAB legal counsel in updating all final meeting documents to meet the April 1st deadline.
VAB administration will be requesting a separate and future agenda item to appoint the two BOCC members and at least one alternate BOCC member to the Value Adjustment Board to prevent lack of quorum in the future.
