Re: Annual Report 2022-2023
The City Commission at its meeting on May 18, 2023 meeting has requested that all
Advisory Boards and Committees create an Annual Report for 2022-2023. The report should
consist of the following:
• What do you understand the mission of your board to be?
• What are the three most important things your board has done during calendar years
2022-2023?
• What are the three most important things your board is working on right now?
• What could the City Commission do to help your board better serve our neighbors?
• What else do you need the City Commission to know about your board?
The City Commission would like you to make those reports available to them prior to its
August 17, 2023 meeting. Also, each board will be scheduled for a brief presentation before
the City Commission based on these reports between mid-August, 2023 and the end of July,

Please send your reports to Betsy Byrne at ByrneBL@gainesville.gov. Please let us know
