HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
In November of 2006, by City Council action, the International Relations Advisory Board was authorized. In October of 2014, through Ordinance No. 38-14, the International Relations Advisory Board was established via ordinance; however that ordinance was not codified.
In the board’s recent functioning, direct contact with the Mayor and/or Mayor’s Office has been used in fulfilling the board’s mission. With the creation of the Cultural Affairs Office, it is believed that working directly with Cultural Affairs to help plan cultural exchange visits and events that showcase the multi-cultural aspects of Pensacola would be the most efficient and effective use of the individuals currently serving on the board. To this end, the International Relations Advisory Board, a Council created board, will be abolished, and those wishing to continue service to the city will be called upon to work with the Cultural Affairs office to create a more cohesive and effective use of the talents of board members and will allow the ability for greater impact and assistance to the City.
