Murdock Village Redevelopment Initiative

8. How was the Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Agency created; and what is the composition of its governing body?

The Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Agency was created by resolution of the County Commission. [Click here to view Resolution 2003-81, Resolution 2003-82 and the Interlocal Agreement between the County and its redevelopment agency.] Although a separate public body corporate and politic, the composition of the redevelopment agency is ex officio the County Commission. The Chairman and Vice Chairman of the County Commission serve respectively as the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Agency with the remaining members of the governing body of the redevelopment agency being the remaining members of the Board of County Commissioners. Concurrent with their employment by the County, the County Administrator, the County Clerk and the County Attorney, or any special counsel of the County, also serve respectively as the Executive Director, Clerk and general or special counsel to the Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Agency.

Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, provides the Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Agency with supplemental powers and authority to make the Murdock Village redevelopment initiative possible. In lay terms, the Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Agency could be considered an alter ego of the County Commission providing additional supplemental powers and authority so that the community can implement the Murdock Village redevelopment initiative; nevertheless the Murdock Village Community Redevelopment Agency is a distinct and separate legal entity from the County Commission.
