New Business
Frost asked about the draft document and then queried the membership on their individual reviews and any corrections.
Members responded they had viewed the document and offered no suggestions on corrections.
Beebe made a motion to accept the draft as written, Brickell seconded the motion; the motion passed unanimously.
Discussion of the meeting to hear public comment was suggested to be in May, since staff and Brickell won’t be available in April.
Frost asked if May would be okay since a chairman wouldn’t have been chosen. Frost thought that Brickell could Chair the meeting.
Members discussed the methods by which the public would be notified, web site, flyers in the wholesale houses and through the City of Lawrence Communications department. That department typically coordinates the release to the newspaper and information channel if necessary.
Lisher asked if copies would be made available.
Staff said copies would be made available upon request and some would be available at the public meeting. Staff wants to limit the copies if possible given the size of the document.
It was suggested that it could be viewed electronically at the public meeting.
Staff made mention of the reappointment of Daniel Beebe and the appointment of Verlon Myers to fill Frosts vacant post.
Frost expressed his gratitude to the Board for allowing him to serve. He has enjoyed all the members and has learned a lot during the process. He may try and attend some of the meetings as a patron.
Beebe asked if someone that has served has to remain off for a period of time before reapplying.
Brickell stated they could reapply at anytime there is an opening.
Staff commented that at this time we had to have an Electrical Contractor and the Board didn’t have much flexibility.
Adjournment
Brickell made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Beebe; motion passed unanimously and the meeting was adjourned at 6:15 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Phil Burke, Secretary
