Vice Chairman Flescher asked whether any committee member's removal might <br />result in a vacancy for a period of time, pursuant to Resolution 2008-112, which addresses <br />policy for appointing "at large" members to advisory committees. <br />Attorney Collins explained that if a position becomes vacant, the vacancy will <br />be advertised under "Informational Items" on the Board Agenda. Applications will be <br />accepted for two weeks, at which time the Board votes on whoever is best suited among the <br />applicants. <br />Commissioner Solari liked the idea of having the opportunity to review the <br />committees, and to meet with the applicants, should there be more than one person wanting to <br />serve on a vacancy. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan wanted to stick with current policy of re -appointing the <br />members. If a Commissioner wants to replace an at -large member, he could pull the member <br />off of the committee, and secure a majority vote. <br />Chairman Davis wanted any citizen who applies for a committee position, to <br />have the opportunity to state their case to the Commission, even if the current appointee has <br />not been pulled. <br />The Commissioners continued debate on the intent of the Resolution, and proper <br />procedure for removal and replacement of a committee member. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan reminded Board members that the position is not open <br />until there is a majority vote to remove the committee member, and the Resolution mandates <br />that an open position must be advertised for two weeks. <br />47 <br />December 16, 2008 <br />
