Motion passed by five voice votes. Gorsevski abstains. Business Items tentatively scheduled for October 19, 2016: Robinson says we will see 749 Wildrose Way. We have received another variance request. We have a flood plan development request. Robinson welcomes Alison Gorsevski as a Board of Adjustment member. Staff Comments: Meseck says there is an item going before City Council regarding term limits for Board member. What is the status of that? Robinson says there was some discussion at the CC meeting but no decision was made. Rob Zuccaro, Planning and Building Safety Director, says CC did discuss this issue, decided to table the matter, and made no decision. It does not appear they will bring the item back for a final decision. They wish to go through the interview process this year and bring the issue up next year if they feel the interview and appointment process goes well. Meseck asks if there is a grandfather status where everyone would start from square one. If you have been a Board member for ten years, you would be immediately term limited? Zuccaro says they did not discuss how it would apply to current Board members. They discussed the terms for each Board and if you meet your term limit, how long before you can re- apply. Meseck says if there are term limits for e BOA, we would lose members. Campbell asks if BOA members appli: .ther Boards and if CC asked them to serve on the BOA. Meseck says I do not know if individuals applie. her Boards. Stuart says I first applied to the Liquor Board, but they suggested my skills would be better applied to the BOA. It has worked out quite well. Meseck says there are different situations for each Board. This Board has been in good shape for the last couple of years, but we have had some meetings with attendance problems. Adding our seventh member, Alison Gorsevski, is very helpful to make our quorum. Campbell says my experience tells me that few people even know there is a Board of Adjustment, and then don't understand what the Board does. Board Comments: None. Discussion Items for October 19, 2016 Meeting: None. Adjourn: Ewy moved and Malmquist seconded a motion to adjourn the meeting. Motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Meeting adjourned at 7:16 pm.
