Jeff Bergosh Blog: Northwest District 1 Advisory Committee Taking Shape.....

Guidelines

I am one member of a five person board. The opinions I express on this forum are mine only, and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the Escambia County Staff, Administrators, Employees, or anyone else associated with Escambia County Florida. I am interested in establishing this blog as a means of additional transparency to the public, outreach to the community, and information dissemination to all who choose to look. Feedback is welcome, but because public participation is equally encouraged, appropriate language and decorum is mandatory. Although this is not my campaign site for re-election--sometimes campaign related information will be discussed, therefore in an abundance of caution I add the following : Political Advertisement Paid for and Approved by Jeff Bergosh, Republican, for Escambia County Commissioner District 1

Northwest District 1 Advisory Committee Taking Shape.....

The shaded areas above represent the NW portion of District 1--the study area that will be the focus of work by the Northwest District 1 advisory committee.

Now that the deadline for applications has passed for the Northwest District 1 Citizens Advisory Committee, I can report that I have received 13 completed applications from citizens that I am reviewing.

I thank everyone that expressed interest in serving, and I especially want to thank all those citizens that actually followed through and submitted applications, within the time-frame specified, to serve on this committee.

For those citizens that have expressed an interest in serving but who didn't submit an application by the advertised and stated cutoff deadline, you can still submit an application and I will hold such applications in reserve and utilize these as a pool of alternates for membership on this committee.

I will select the 9-Member committee tomorrow, Friday August 3rd. I will bring this slate of names to the regular BCC meeting on Thursday, August 16th, for consideration/confirmation by the full board as is specified in the resolution that established this committee.

I anticipate a late August/Early September date will be announced for the organizational meeting of this committee--at which point a Chair and Vice-Chair will be elected, meeting times/dates established, and initial topics of consideration will be explored.

The work of this committee will be open to the public, this will be a "Sunshine" committee.
