Commissioner Sylvia N. Simmons, City Clerk Donna L. Bussey, Code Enforcement Officer
Alex Sherrer and Code Enforcement Board Chairperson Curtis Sanders. City Manager Jim
Hanson was absent (excused).
Mayor Meserve explained that the primary purpose of the meeting was to discuss membership on
the Code Enforcement Board. It was explained that the Committee currently has one vacancy
which resulted from the resignation of Don Wolfson and that as of September 30, 2005 would
have two additional vacancies from expiring terms or Peter Wynkoop and Curtis Sanders. It was
reported that Board Member Peter Wynkoop is not interested in being reappointed due to
scheduling conflicts and that Board Chairperson Curtis Sanders is not eligible to be reappointed
due to term limits.
