  • In the event that F.S. § 125.01(5) is amended to allow the membership of a special district created pursuant thereto to consist of nonelected members who are not members of a board of county commissioners or governing body of a municipality, the governing board membership shall be changed to include nonelected officials as follows:

    (1)

    If F.S. § 125.01(5) allows a governing board to consist solely of nonelected members and if the board of county commissioners and city council adopt resolutions approving the implementation of this subsection (1):

    a.

    The governing board shall be dissolved; and

    b.

    The advisory board shall be reconstituted as the governing board and shall assume all of the duties and responsibilities of the governing board and the advisory board.

    Thereafter the provisions for appointment and removal of advisory board members set forth in section 33-274(a) shall be applicable to the reconstituted governing board. A quorum for the reconstituted governing board shall consist of three (3) members, and official action shall be taken only upon the affirmative vote of three (3) members.

    If F.S. § 125.01(5) requires the membership of a governing board to consist in part of members of a board of county commissioners or city council and if the board of county commissioners and city council adopt resolutions approving the implementation of this subsection (2):

    a.

    The governing board and the advisory board shall be combined; and

    b.

    The combined governing board shall assume all of the duties and responsibilities of the governing board and the advisory board.

    Thereafter the provisions for appointment and removal of advisory board members set forth in section 33-274(b) shall be applicable to the governing board members who are not elected public officials. A quorum for the combined governing board shall consist of five (5) members, and official action shall be taken only upon the affirmative vote of five (5) members.
