On June 15, 2010, the reappointment of Mark Marcanti and William Long was tabled due to the fact that the Gila County Board of Supervisors was in the process of reviewing all Boards, Commissions, and Committees under their jurisdiction.

On February 24, 2011, the Gila County Board of Supervisors reviewed the Industrial Development Authority of Gila County at their workshop.

On April 15, 2011, Fred Barcon submitted a letter to Chairman Mike Pastor requesting the reappointment of Mark Marcanti and William Long to the Industrial Development Authority of Gila County Board of Directors to facilitate the restructuring of the Board as they move forward after the ASARCO settlement.

Evaluation

William Long and Mark Marcanti have contributed many volunteer hours to the Industrial Development Authority of Gila County and both are willing to continue to serve on the IDA of Gila County Board of Directors.

Conclusion

The IDA of Gila County conducted four meetings during 2010 - 2011. William Long and Mark Marcanti served on the IDA Board and voted on many important agenda items at those meetings, including the matter of the ASARCO Settlement. It is imperative that both members be reappointed in order to meet the requirements of IDA Board quorum and also to assist IDA President Fred Barcon in moving forward with plans to restructure the IDA Board.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of IDA President Fred Barcon to approve the reappointment of William Long and Mark Marcanti to the Industrial Development Authority of Gila County Board of Directors.
