Lake Mary Boulevard, Suite 200 Sanford, Florida 32773 (407) 323-2500. Ext. 5740 September 18, 1998 Commissioner Cindy Gennell Chairman, CALNO C/o City of Winter Springs 1128 East State Road 434 Winter Springs, FL 32708 RE: Seminole County Expressway Authority/Municipal Appointment Dear Commissioner Gennell: The State Statute establishing the Seminole County Expressway Authority (SCEA) provides that the five (5) County Commissioners and two (2) elected municipal officials within the County serve as Authority members. The Statute also provides that the Board of County Commissioners selects the municipal members unless two-thirds of the municipalities jointly recommend in writing to the County Commissioners their selection of a member for appointment within thirty days of a vacancy occurring. Historically, CALNO has served as a forum for recommending municipal representatives to serve on the Expressway Authority. It will be most helpful if CALNO will continue to assist in the process and place this matter on its October 7th meeting agenda. The term of one of the municipal positions, held by Commissioner Whitey Eckstein of Sanford, will expire in November. Commissioner Eckstein has served one two-year term on the Authority and has expressed his desire to be reappointed. After CALNO's action, each of the seven cities will be asked to endorse CALNO's recommendation by placing the matter before their respective City Commission for official action during October. The cities will also be asked to advise Seminole County of the action taken prior to the County Commission meeting of November 10th, 1998. If you or other members of CALNO have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to give me a call at 323-2500, extension 5605. cc: SCEA Board Members James N.
