In what was touted to be a balance between so-called experts and citizens, the Santa Rosa County commissioners voted Feb. 13 to increase the number of seats at the task force table from 10 to 12 and include a handful of builders.
The commissioners previously agreed to collectively choose the experts portion of the panel and then designate a citizen from each of the five districts. Increasing the number of seats by two increased the experts panel by two, leaving the citizens’ representation at five.
