Dr. Copeland reviewed the process by which the district has been audited in the past, by the Auditor General.  Due to legislative guidelines, statutes and population of the county, this process has been changed.  Once the population reaches 150,000 the Auditor General conducts audits following a 3-year cycle.  The district must procure an independent CPA firm for audit purposes during this cycle.  In accordance with Florida Statute, it is necessary to form an audit selection committee.  The audit committee will come back to the Board with a recommendation on June 16, 2011.

Sonya Findley, Roni Campbell  and Frank Farrell were selected as members of the Audit Committee.  Nancy Racine will act as Chairman and a non-voting member of the committee.

64. 2010 Census/School Board Member Redistricting
Attachment: April21SB_Districts_CountyCensusCURRENT.pdf
Minutes: 

Mr. Elliott opened the discussion with the process used to revise Board member districts.  The first approach would be for the Board to identify a workshop at which the staff would provide some options for the Board to consider.  The second approach would be no workshop, and the staff would bring recommendations to the Board.  The Board has until December 31, 2011 to make a decision.

Mr. Farrell inquired as to whether consideration should be given to contacting the Board of County Commissioners to see if there may be any interest in seeking consolidation with their member districts.  The Board agreed to contact the BCC with Mr. Farrell, Board Chairman, signing the letter for the Board.  Once the BCC response is received the Board will then move forward on this issue.



Motions:
Approve submission of letter from the School Board to the Clay Board of County Commissioners exploring their interest in consolidation of commissioner and school board member districts.- PASS
