where is everyone?
all 8 board members have arrived & the city staff are getting them started by recommending they elect a chair.
now discussing setting a standing meeting time.
they’ve agreed to meet the 2nd and 4th tuesdays of every month, with the next meeting being august 14th.
“i’ve heard from people who are interested in helping us,” specifically names jeff fogel (whose appointment to the board was vigorously opposed by council)
(note that the board has the power to add a ninth seat to the board but council would actually appoint the person — the board does not get to select the appointee.)
more on lunsford’s letter here:
WHY. NO THANKS. FTP.
(jesus christ i need a hobby)
their terms on the board, however, can be extended.
the city staffer says there is precedent for a board remaining in tact past its term for several months to finish a project.
meeting adjourned!
