AGENDA ITEM WORDING: The Green Initiative Task Force (GITF) recommends
that the Board of County Commissioners extend an invitation to the U. S. Navy to
become a nonvoting member of the task force.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The GITF voted at its November meeting to recommend that
the Navy be invited to join the task force as a nonvoting member. The Navy is making
changes to its keys facilities which are energy efficient and sustainable. The task force
would like to have input from the Navy in order to learn from their nationwide
experience and to determine if those changes would be applicable to the climate action
plan for the entire keys. The only nonvoting members presently on the GITF are utilities.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On June 18, 2008, Resolution No. 177-
2008 established the creation of an advisory board to recommend green standards to be
adopted as local technical amendments into the Florida Building Code. On October 15,
2008 Resolution 345-2008 changed the terms of members and sunset date of the task
force. On April 15, 2009 Resolution 121-2009 changed the focus of the task force from
amending the Florida Building Code to providing recommendations to the BOCC of
environmentally sound practices and techniques to protect the environment. On
November 18, 2009 Resolution 466-2009 reallocated staff assignments from Growth
Management to the Director of Extension Services under the County Administrator.
