To: The Honorable Mayor and Board of Commissioners From: Jack Simoneau, Planning Director Subject: Consider Appointment to the Board of Adjustment
Michael Schutrum resigned his position as of November 1, 2015 as a Regular Member (Town Seat 5), and Reta Berman resigned her position as a Regular Member (Town Seat 2) as of January 19, 2016. There are five (5) applications that have been received for consideration. Using our “moving up” method, it is suggested to move an Alternate Member into Regular membership when applicable. In example: Alternate 1 (Town) would move to Regular Member Town Seat 2, and the Alternate 2 (Town) would move to the Alternate 1 (Town), and Alternate 3 moves to Alternate 2; thus, leaving the Alternate 3 (Town or ETJ) Seat vacant for appointing a new member. Attached is a current Membership Chart, and a proposed chart that reflects potential movement of Seats.
Bethany Welch, who is currently the Alternate 1 (Town) Seat, has agreed, if so considered, to be moved to a Regular Member (Town Seat 2). Gerry Notara, who is currently the Alternate 2 (Town) Seat has agreed, if so considered, to be moved to a Regular Member (Town Seat 5). It is suggested that if an Alternate moves up that they carry the seat term of expiration with them in order to keep staggering terms (Welch in 2018, and Notara in 2017); thereby, leaving the vacant Alternate seat with an unexpired term of June 30, 2016, which could automatically be renewed at this time to expire on June 30, 2019.
