DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The Tourist Development Council has two (2) Non-Collector Members with terms expiring at the end of February 2026. A total of three (3) applications were received for consideration, including the incumbent members who are requesting consideration for reappointment. The applicants are as follows:
• Robert Walker (INCUMBENT)
• Christopher Duane Fernandez (INCUMBENT)
• Jaye Baillie
Jaye Baillie’s professional relations require a waiver of conflict approval to be considered for appointment.
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. Jaye Baillie has provided the required Form 4A.
The waiver, if granted, would permit Ms. Baillie to serve as non-collector member of the Tourist Development Council should she be selected.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None
