The unprecedented public-private partnership we have created in Seminole County could well serve as a national model of how local government and the business community can work together toward achieving a shared vision for their community. Now it is tinw to move The Seminole VISion to a new level of community involvement. Having carefully considered feedback from many Vision Community Trustees, the Executive Board has determined that The Seminole Vision must be reorganized and expanded to become more inclusive with more citizen involvement. To that end, a new organizational plan has been developed that includes the creation of a Board of Community Trustees made up of nearly 50 representatives from a wide range of community perspectives. This Board will have final approval of the Annual Plan of Action. Highlights of the new Board of Community Trustees include: 1) Each city, county and business that invests in The Seminole Vision will have one representative on the new Board of Community Trustees. Each of the Chambers of Commerce (Lake Mary-Heathrow, Oviedo, Sanford, Seminole) will have one representative on the Board of Community Trustees. The Chairs of each Stakeholder group will continue to serve on the Board. 2) 3) An Executive Committee, comprised of twelve members, will be responsible for fiscal oversight, policy setting, advising the President of The Seminole Vision and developing a recommended Annual Plan of Action. Members of the Executive Committee will include three public sector investors, thre<~ private sector investors, three at-large members, a representative from one of the four Chambers, legal counse~ and the Chair of the board of County Commissioners ( or designee). The new plan also calls for implementing infrastructure improvements, completing the 1997 goals and expanding communication to our more than 125 Community Trustees as well as to the cormnunity of Seminole County through The Seminole Vision Newsletter. We ask that you invest $2,500 in support of this process from now until the end of our fiscal budget cycle, September 30, 1998. Questions are welcomed.
