AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution encouraging Governor Ron DeSantis to
appoint Dr. Daniel Zieg to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation Board.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The proposed resolution respectfully encourages Governor Ron DeSantis
to appoint Dr. Zieg to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation's Board. That board currently has
two vacancies, one for a former local government elected official and one for a citizen
representative. There is no current resident of the Florida Keys serving on that important board.
Dr. Daniel Zieg recently completed 8 years of service on the Marathon City Council. He served for
3 years on Marathon's planning commission prior to that. Through this experience, he has
developed the local insight and expertise in providing affordable housing in the Florida Keys that is
currently lacking on the Florida Housing Finance Corporation Board.
