SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Appoint Jennifer Frazier and Mikhail Khodortsov to serve on the revised Downtown Development Board. (consent)
Body
SUMMARY:
On February 15, 2024, the Council adopted an ordinance revising the structure of the Clearwater Downtown Development Board. The new Board will remain a seven-member Board, consistent with the current structure. However, the new structure requires the five Council members, as an additional duty in office, to serve as five of the seven members of the Board. The new structure also requires the Council to appoint the two additional members. To ensure adequate representation of downtown stakeholders, the two additional members must be selected from among the current Board members - and more specifically, must be selected among those most recently elected. Three individuals were elected or reelected this year; their applications are attached to this agenda item. The Council must choose two to serve a Board term that will conclude on December 31, 2027.
At the March 4 work session, there was council consensus to appoint Jennifer Frazier and Mikhail Khodortsov.
