Summary

The council selected a three‑person slate to recommend to the Pinellas County Commission for the Tourist Development Council slot, naming Scott Tate first and John Doctor second; the list will be submitted to Commissioner Eggers.

Mayor Dave Geddes opened the floor for nominations to fill the Barrier Islands' upcoming vacancy on the Pinellas County Tourist Development Council. Councilors nominated multiple candidates and then selected a three‑person list to forward to the county commission: Mayor Scott Tate was moved and approved as the first choice; John Doctor was nominated as the second choice; Michael Howard and Bruce (last name not specified) were also nominated during the discussion.

Geddes said the usual practice is to submit three nominees and allow the county commission to make the appointment; he asked staff to forward the council's recommendations to Commissioner David Eggers. The council approved the slate by voice vote.
