RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Public-Private Partnership HB 85 Task Force Appointee

That the Board consider authorizing the Chairman to sign a letter of support asking the Governor to appoint Nassau County Commissioner Barry Holloway as the task force appointee. The bill provides for one county government official to be on the task force.

BACKGROUND:

During the 2013 session, the Legislature passed HB 85 which clarifies the extent of public-private partnerships allowed by local governments and procedures associated with them. The bill provides for the Governor to appoint a task force that will review issues associated with the bill, with one of the members being a county government official. Nassau County Attorney David Hallman asked that the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners consider sending a letter to the Governor to support the appointment of Nassau County Commissioner Barry Holloway to the task force. Not all local governments were supportive of HB 85 and some opposed passage. Nassau County was a vocal proponent of the bill and has an interest in having representation on the task force, according to their County Attorney.
