Background Summary:
Members of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) serve three-year terms. According to the
resolution, the board consists of nine (9) members, and only legal residents of the City of Ocoee or members
of a city sporting organization that uses Ocoee parks are eligible for membership. Currently, the board has six

In January 2024, former member Qubeliah Graham was considered to have resigned from the board after
missing three consecutive meetings. The Board’s Bylaws, enacted by the Ocoee City Commission, state that
any member who misses three consecutive regular meetings, five regular meetings in a 12-month period, or
does not participate in one Board-sponsored event is deemed to have resigned (Article 3.5).
On May 17, 2024, Ms. Graham contacted the City Clerk expressing her interest in rejoining the PRAB, citing
her renewed availability to commit to the board. No other applications are currently on file.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners consider appointing Qubeliah Graham to the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board to serve a three-year term ending October 2027?
Recommendations:
Staff recommends the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners consider appointing Qubeliah Graham to the
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to serve a three-year term ending October 2027.
