PURPOSE
The District Board of Trustees is required by Florida Statute and State Board Rules to initiate actions
deemed in the best interests of the institution should the President fail to make recommendations as
appropriate.
PROCEDURE
Generally, actions taken by the Board are based upon the advice, counsel and recommendation of the
President. It is, however, the responsibility of individual Board members to initiate any action deemed
necessary or in the best interest of the College should the President fail to make an appropriate
recommendation.
In meeting this responsibility the individual member may request that the Board direct the President to
initiate a recommendation or the member may initiate the recommendation directly. When the
recommendation is initiated directly, a copy shall be provided to the Office of the College President for
inclusion in the agenda of the next regular meeting of the Board. It is the responsibility of the Office of
the College President to insure that the recommendation is properly advertised and posted in accordance
with the requirements of the Administrative Procedures Act and all applicable laws. All time
requirements of this legislative act apply unless the action is deemed to be of an emergency nature. The
paragraph relating to justification and confirming actions apply to Board initiated actions.
