Central Area Community Leadership Committee (CLC)

The success of the Community Area Plan ultimately depends upon substantial input from those who live and work in the area. A Community Leadership Committee (CLC) is a group of 25 individuals appointed to assist in facilitating several public workshops, develop a vision statement for the South Community Area, help consolidate community-generated goals, and assist in formulating implementation strategies to attain these goals.

Planning staff forwards all CLC applications to the City Commission for appointment. The Mayor and the four Commissioners each nominate five members. Four of the appointees must be directly associated with the community area, i.e., property owner, business owner, employee, or resident.

The role of the 25 CLC members is to:

• Serve as a link between the City and the Community;
• Represent the ideals of the Community; and
• Monitor the successful implementation of the Community's goals.

All 187 Central Area CLC applications that were submitted were forwarded to the City Commission for review. The City Commission appointed 25 of the applicants for the Central Area Community Leadership Committee at their April 18, 2000 conference meeting.

The CLC membership list for the Central Area includes:
