<br />County Attorney Collins reviewed his memorandum and Chairman Lowther read <br />the legal notice into the record. <br /> <br />The meeting was recessed at 11:38 a.m. for the attorney-client session; all <br />non-essential staff and the public cleared the Chambers. <br /> <br />The Chairman reconvened the meeting at 12:03 p.m. <br /> <br />13.A. CHAIRMAN THOMAS S. LOWTHER – PLANNING AND <br />ZONING (P & Z) MEMBER AT LARGE APPOINTMENT – <br />(GEORGE GROSS RE-APPOINTED) <br /> <br />Chairman Lowther called attention to the fact that there was a tied vote on two <br />candidates for this position (see memorandum of January 12, 2005 and backup). <br /> <br />Commissioner Wheeler NOMINATED Linda Bolton, <br />Commissioner Bowden SECONDED the nomination for <br />the Member-at-Large appointment to the P & Z. <br /> <br />Under discussion, Vice Chairman Neuberger indicated his preference for George <br />Gross who has served the County well on the P & Z and is a long-time resident. He noted that Ms. <br />Bolton is a new resident to Indian River County of only 17 months. <br />Commissioner Wheeler supported his nomination because of the advantage of <br />having someone who lived through the growth in another jurisdiction. Although the newspaper <br />stated differently, she was not recruited but submitted a letter of interest in serving. <br />January 18, 2005 27 <br /> <br />
