(arrived at 5:27 p.m.), Community Development Board Chair Brea Paul, Building and Zoning Director

Commissioner Hill explained the vacancies to address on the Community Development Board. The
Committee discussed whether the current members seeking reappointment should also be interviewed
just as the new applicants are. Discussion ensued.
The consensus of the committee was to have another meeting to interview the current members
seeking reappointment and the two new applicants who were unavailable for tonight's meeting.
Since Brea Paul was in attendance, they agreed to go ahead and interview her tonight. It was
also decided that the Committee would not make any recommendations on appointments until
the next meeting.
