Title

Marion County Hospital District Board of Trustees - Request Appointment of Two (2) Non-Physician Full Members for Individual Full Terms Ending June 2030

Body

 

INITIATOR:

DEPARTMENT:

Gennifer Medina, Executive Assistant

Commission Office

 

DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:

The Marion County Hospital District Board of Trustees has two (2) non-physician members with individual terms that expire in June 2026. The incumbents, Rusty Branson and Harvey Vandeven, are eligible for reappointment and have applied to be considered. No other applications were received during the advertising period.

 

Incumbent Harvey Vandeven’s business and professional relations require a waiver of conflict approval to be considered for reappointment.

 

Sections 112.313(3) and 112.313(7), Florida Statutes, prohibit certain business relationships on the part of public officers and employees, including those serving on advisory boards.  However, Section 112.313(12), Florida Statutes, permits the BOCC to waive these requirements in a particular instance provided the waiver by the BCC is upon a two-thirds affirmative vote; and the advisory board member has fully disclosed the transaction or relationship which would otherwise be prohibited by Subsections (3) of (7) of Section 112.313, Florida Statutes by submitting the Form 4A as required. Harvey Vandeven has provided the required Form 4A.

 

The waiver, if granted, would permit Mr. Vandeven to continue to serve as full non-physician member of the Marion County Hospital District Board of Trustees should he be reappointed.

 

BUDGET/IMPACT:

None

 

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Recommended action

Motion to reappoint incumbents Rusty Branson and Harvey Vandeven as full non-physician members of the Marion County Hospital District Board of Trustees, each serving a new term ending June 2030.
