This decision creates an open seat for a

Board is committed to filling this open community seat as quickly as

to discuss our options, and will keep you informed as we determine next
steps.
There needs to be a change in the terms used; it has become clear that
this will not be an election, and that the trustee eventually approved
by the rest of the board will not be "community selected", but
"community nominated".
Until now many of us were under impression (supported by the Florida statutes it seems)
that they were "community elected".
