Who are the PPC representatives, and who chooses them?
Each of the thirteen PPC representatives is an elected official from a local government or the Pinellas County School Board. One is a County Commissioner, one is a School Board Member, and eight are officials (mayors, commissioners, or councilmembers) from larger municipalities. The remaining three are officials from smaller municipalities, each representing a group of communities in addition to his or her own. Local governments appoint their own representatives, based on the interest and experience of available candidates. For the smaller communities represented in groups, the local governments take turns providing representatives, subject to the approval of the other group members and appointment by the Board of County Commissioners.
