STAFF REPORT
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM; Jean Grafton, City Clerk
DATE: July 9, 2003
RE: Appointment to METROPLAN ORLANDO Citizens' Advisory Committee
ISSUE
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners appoint a member to fill the vacancy on
the METROPLAN ORLANDO Citizens' Advisory Committee (CAC) created by the resignation
of Milton West?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Milton West has served as Ocoee's voting member on the CAC since July 16, 2002. On that
date City Commission appointed him to complete the four-year term of JoAnne Jensen to
February 2006. Mr. West has resigned from the Committee in a fax dated June 27, 2003, citing
time constraints due to numerous other commitments.
The CAC was formed to ensure that the public has the opportunity to review and evaluate all
proposed transportation plans and programs. Comprised of volunteers with an interest in
transportation, the CAC includes appointed representatives from local counties and cities. The
CAC assists the Board by expressing opinions, concerns and recommendations on behalf of the
regions they represent.
In selecting a member to represent Ocoee, the following information may be helpful. The
Committee meets at 9:30 a.m. on the fourth Wednesday each month at the METROPLAN
ORLANDO office located at 315 East Robinson Street, Suite 355, Orlando. Voting members
should be laypersons outside the transportation industry, should reside in the jurisdiction they
represent, and shall not be elected officials or staff members.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully requests that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners appoint a member
to complete the four-year term of Milton West to represent Ocoee on the METROPLAN
ORLANDO Citizens' Advisory Committee.
