by carrying out the various duties and responsibilities of
each board which, among other duties, include the following:

as communication links between the Town's government and
the general public;
- direct
attention toward specific issues and problems concerning
their board, recommending Council action and/or
alternatives for Council's consideration;
- balance
the programs of their boards with the resources available
to them through the annual budget;
- carry
out their duties and responsibilities in strict compliance
with the State of Florida's Government in the Sunshine
provisions and the Code of Ethics.
