Ms. Doerr and Mr. Jacobson gave their evaluation of the current members. The committee discussed each member’s attendance record and contribution to the Community Development Board.
During discussions, Mr. Hanson presented two articles and the SAVE Atlantic Beach roster to the Committee. Further discussion ensued regarding possible inappropriate public expressions.
The Committee discussed each of the new applicants for the Community Development Board which were interviewed previously.
The Committee discussed the large number of very impressive candidates for the Community Development Board that had been interviewed in recent months. It was generally agreed that one
of the basis for recommending members for appointment in the future should be in giving new citizens a chance to serve particularly when several good candidates are available. This
would be in addition to other criteria such as having a balance of knowledgeable professions, geographic diversity of citizens and other factors.
(3A) Motion: Recommend reappointing Lynn Drysdale to the Community Development Board for an additional term.
