Boards and Committees

The open meetings law (also known as the Florida-in-the-Government Sunshine Law, Chapter 286 of the Florida Statutes http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0200-0299/0286/0286.html), requires all meetings of state or local governmental boards or commissions to be open to the public unless there is a specific statutory exemption.  This law permits citizens to observe the decision-making process from initial deliberations to the final vote.

All City of Fruitland Park City Commission and Board/Committee meetings are noticed and open to the public.  The Sunshine Law does not require that the city provide notice of each item to be discussed or consider such matters on a published agenda; however, an agenda, wherever possible, is usually available.  

According to the Sunshine Law, all meeting minutes are promptly recorded, opened to public inspection and are permanently maintained by the city.  They are circulated to individual board members for corrections and studying prior to approval during the public meeting when adopting the minutes.  

The city's charter requires that the city clerk give notice of commission meetings to its members and the public and keep the minutes of its proceedings.  

The city code requires the chair to attest to the accuracy of all minutes of meetings prior to submittal to the city commission.

Please note that meeting dates and times are subject to change.  For more information, please contact the city clerk at (352) 360-6790 or email ecoulson@fruitlandpark.org.
