14. Recommendation Concerning Revisions to the Boards and Committees

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-07-23 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed amendment to the Escambia County Appointment Policy and Procedures. The County Administrator, Wesley J. Moreno, is recommending that the Board of County Commissioners adopt changes to Section I, B.1. Specifically, the amendment would add item H to restrict County employees from serving on any board, commission, committee, council, authority, advisory body, or quasi-judicial body that is created by or falls under the jurisdiction of the Board of County Commissioners. This policy change is currently under review by the Board. If adopted, this policy change would impact the eligibility of county employees for various civic roles. The primary opportunity for local businesses lies in understanding and adapting to potential shifts in board and committee composition. Businesses that provide professional services, particularly legal and administrative support, may see opportunities related to the governance and administration of these bodies.
