Exhibit 6
12/7/2021
As promised, the following information is to be used as an agenda item for the City
Council and County Commission meetings for discussion:
i. Both City and County recommend the removal of the super majority
verbiage and replace it with verbiage indicating a simple majority is
required.
2. The issue of the elected officials on the OUA Board will be brought to the
respective Boards for discussion. The County Attorney has indicated this
can be accomplished, but both Boards must agree on the placement of an
elected official on the OUA Board.
3. In terms of the verbiage referencing a Glades County resident is
recommended to be changed to the following:
a. The four members of the Authority Board appointed by the County
and the City shall then, by a simple majority vote, appoint a fifth
member of the Authority Board and one alternate representative who
may attend all meetings of the Authority Board and shall have the
authority to vote in the absence of said fifth member; provided,
however, for so long as the district encompasses a portion of Glades
County, said fifth member and the alternate for that member shall be a
resident of that area within the District located in Glades County. If a
vacancy should occur, applicants of that area within the District
located in Glades County will be give preferential consideration. If no
one within the District located in Glades County applies, then the
vacancy shall be filled with the next viable candidate residing in the
OUA Service Area.
