Board Member Review Committee (BMRC)
March 30, 2022
Commissioner Norris gave a brief overview of the Commission's discussion and action
on the last CARAC appointments and Mayor Glasser's request for this Committee to
reevaluate its recent recommendations and consider recommending Mr. Sears to one of
those regular positions.
Commissioner Norris explained Ms. Goodrich and Mr. Schwarz's willingness to swap
seats with Mr. Sears.
Discussion ensued about Mr. Sears' initial interview, attendance, contributions, his
needing to complete the mandatory training, and his request to defer. The Committee
decided to leave the membership as it currently is and if Mr. Sears wants to pursue
changes to his membership, he can attend a future BMRC meeting and speak about it
under public comments. Commissioner Norris agreed to follow up with Mr. Sears to

motion.
