Mayor Van Johnson to represent Apalachicola on RESTORE Council

The City of Apalachicola has named its representative to the county’s RESTORE council.

The RESTORE council is a 7 member board created to consider projects proposed for funding through any money Franklin County receives from fines levied on BP because of the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

County commissioners will name 5 of the members, 2 are appointed by the Cities of Apalachicola and Carrabelle.

Last week the City of Apalachicola named Mayor Van Johnson to serve on the council.

Carrabelle will be represented by its Mayor, Brenda La Paz.

The County named members include Lynn Martina who will fill the tourism seat and Otis Amison will represent fisheries.

Rose Mccoy will fill the economic development seat and Erik Lovestrand will represent environmental issues.

The county still needs to name someone to the non-governmental seat.

The first meeting of the RESTORE Council will be held on Tuesday, December the 15^th at 5 PM at the Franklin County courthouse Annex in Apalachicola.
