BACKGROUND:

The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and Ocala City Council adopted resolutions on November 1, 2016, establishing the West Ocala Redevelopment Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee), and nine members were appointed. Staff is proposing that the CRA Board appoint Linda Wilkerson to an unexpired term expiring on March 1, 2029.

 

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:

The West Ocala Redevelopment Advisory Committee members also serve on other boards, committees, and organizations that represent West Ocala. Advisory Committee members shall serve four-year terms and may be reappointed. If a term is vacated, the candidate will serve the remainder of the term. Long-serving member Dr. Barbara Brooks resigned from the Advisory Committee, resulting in a vacancy.

 

Linda Wilkerson is a member of the Poinciana Heights Homeowners and Renters Task Force.  Please refer to the attached application for further information.  If the CRA Board approves the appointment, the candidate will be presented at the next scheduled Ocala City Council meeting for confirmation.
