New planning commissioner sworn in; panel briefed on state ethics requirement
Summary
At the start of the meeting a newly appointed commissioner (listed on the roll as Miss Powering) was sworn in. Commissioners were reminded they must complete four hours of state ethics training by the end of March.
The meeting opened with the swearing-in of a newly appointed planning commissioner and brief procedural announcements.
John administered the oath to the new appointee, who was listed on the roll call as Miss Powering and then took her seat. Commissioners welcomed the new member and noted the seat required adjustment before she sat down.
Later in the meeting staff reviewed mandatory ethics training: commissioners must complete four hours of state ethics coursework (two hours on Chapter 112, one hour on Chapter 119 public records, and one hour on Chapter 286 public meetings/sunshine rules). Staff directed the new commissioner to FLcities.com for approved, free course options and provided a contact at the Florida League of Cities (Christian Barton) to assist with registration. The deadline cited for completion was the end of March.
Commission business then continued with agenda items and votes as recorded in the commission minutes.
