nine categories as listed above. Further, the City Attorneys Office has opined that individuals may not
concurrently serve on more that one board or committee, precluding LRC members from serving on this new
committee.
The LRC will continue to review all NOFA's or applications for grant assistance for the SHIP Program and will
make recommendations to the Mayor and City Commission for award of SHIP Program Funds. This
Committee was recently expanded to nine (9) members, which includes citizen representatives from north,
middle and south beach. in this manner, a system of checks and balances is incorporated into the process.
