Kirk Hansen expressed concern regarding member absences on the CDB. He noted that,
as a quasi-judicial board, the CDB has met on several occasions with only four members
present, resulting in 2-2 vote outcomes that effectively deny variances or use-by-
exception requests. Mr. Hansen proposed designating both a primary and a secondary
alternate for the CDB, subject to City Commission approval, to help ensure adequate
attendance at future meetings. The Committee discussed Mr. Hansen's proposal.
MOTION: Select a second alternate that would be available in the event the City Commission
amends, by ordinance, the rules for alternates, and otherwise would not be accepted as an
alternate.
