§ 2-462. Membership and organization; compensation of members; quorum; resolutions.
Latest version.
The educational facilities authority shall consist of five members, each of which
shall be a resident of the county and at least one of which shall be a trustee, director,
officer or employee of an institution for higher education located in the county.
Of the members first appointed, one shall serve for one year, one for two years, one
for three years, one for four years, and one for five years, and in each case until
his successor is appointed and has qualified. Thereafter, the council shall by resolution
appoint, for terms of five years each, members to succeed those whose terms expire.
The council shall by resolution fill any vacancy for an unexpired term. A member of
the authority shall be eligible for reappointment. Any member of the authority may
be removed by the council for misfeasance, malfeasance or willful neglect of duty.
Each member of the authority before entering upon his duties shall take and subscribe
the oath or affirmation required by the state constitution. A record of each such
oath shall be filed in the office of the department of state and with the clerk of
the council. The authority shall annually elect one of its members as chairman and
one as vice-chairman. Three members of the authority shall constitute a quorum and
the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present at a meeting of the authority
shall be necessary for any action taken by the authority; provided, however, any action
may be taken by the authority with the unanimous consent of all of the members of
the authority. No vacancy in the membership of the authority shall impair the right
of a quorum to exercise all the rights and perform all the duties of the authority.
Any action taken by the authority under the provisions of F.S. ch. 243, pt. II (F.S.
§ 243.18 et seq.), may be authorized by resolution at any regular or special meeting,
and each such resolution shall take effect immediately and need not be published or
posted. The members of the authority shall receive no compensation for the performance
of their duties under this division, but each such member shall be paid his necessary
expenses incurred while engaged in the performance of such duties. Notwithstanding
any other law to the contrary, it shall not be or constitute a conflict of interest
for a trustee, director, officer or employee of an institution for higher education
to serve as a member of the authority.
