Staff Recommendation: Approve Resolution 05-1630, adopting Board Appointment Procedures and Training Requirements. Audience Input: Phyllis Sheppard, 580 S. Triplet Lake Drive, Casselberry, Florida, questioned Section 7 where it states that board members should not be eligible to serve more than two consecutive terms. This policy is detrimental to the individuals who faithfully serve on boards and does not promote more involvement by the citizens. She stated that the three consecutive term policy adopted for Commission by Charter should also apply to appointed volunteer boards.

The motion was seconded by Commissioner Susan Doerner and carried unanimously by voice vote. (5 - 0) (Section 7 was incorrect as presented in the Board Appointment Procedures; it should have been listed as three consecutive terms instead of two . This was clarified by the City Attorney during Staff Reports)
