14. COMMISSIONERS' ITEMS <br />A. COMMISSIONER WESLEY S. DAVIS, CHAIRMAN <br />1. COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS DISCUSSION <br />Chairman Davis invited comments from the public. <br />Attorney DeBraal updated the Board on the County Attorney's recommendations, <br />noting that we need to follow the Ordinance, and if it needed to be changed, we should do so <br />intelligently. <br />The Board discussed how best to approach appointments to committees. <br />Charlie Wilson, 1057 6th Avenue, believed that people who want to get on these <br />Boards should have a hearing, giving them the opportunity to be reviewed instead of having <br />automatic placements back on committees. He argued that because of that, there are some <br />people serving for almost twenty years. He suggested the Board, at some point, look at other <br />alternatives. <br />Chairman Davis discussed the issues of a vacancy versus the expiration of a term. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan referenced certain Boards/Committees that are not able to <br />meet because of expired terms or no quorum, and felt they needed to address this issue today. He <br />believed attorney and liaisons should meet and discuss the matter. He suggested a blanket <br />reappointment of all the expired terms as they have done over the past three years, and in the <br />event the people want to serve. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher said he would place discussion of Resolution 112 on next <br />week's Agenda to address the issues of how said resolution has affected the crafting or design of <br />January 20, 2009 <br />23 <br />
