The Flagler County Commission has selected its committee assignments for the 2023-24 fiscal year.
Committee assignments to these important boards provide county commissioners with community input, expertise, and diverse viewpoints that help the Board of County Commissioners make informed decisions.
Flagler County Commission Chair Andy Dance selected five committee assignments for 2023 where he will be the designee, as well as two committees where he will serve as alternate. He serves on the following committees: Flagler County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee; Flagler County Tourist Development Council; Northeast Florida Regional Council; River to Sea Transportation Planning Organization; School Planning Oversight Committee; and as an alternate for the Family Life Center; and, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board.
