Chapter 67-1366, Laws of Florida, authorizes establishment of a county extension council and division of the county into zones or districts by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). Council members are appointed by the BCC, subject to the approval of the Florida Cooperative Extension Service. The council is to be composed of an odd number of members, men and women, numbering neither less than 13 nor more than 21. The persons appointed are to be known to have an interest in and concern for the agricultural, family and consumer sciences (home economics), and youth programs of extension; in developing the rural and urban sections; and in developing the county and its resources. At least one council member shall be a member of the BCC.
To ensure that every section of the county is represented, the county is divided into zones and a member is selected from each zone. Members must live in the zone to which he/she is appointed and serve staggered two-year terms. Members may serve for a maximum of two consecutive two-year terms before rotating off and must be off the Council for one two-year term before becoming eligible to serve again.
These individuals, which were nominated by the Nominating Committee selected by the Escambia County Extension Council, reside in the zone for which appointed and are known to have an interest and concern for programs of the Escambia County Extension, and have been nominated without regard to race, color, creed, sex, or national origin.
