33 <br /> 1 seats, and these should be filled by the applicants who have filled out the applications and <br /> 2 sought out the positions. <br /> 3 Commissioner Price said she understands Commissioner Pelissier's point, but she <br /> 4 agrees with Commissioner Dorosin that these applicants should be given the opportunity to be <br /> 5 involved. She noted that Lori Shapiro is qualified, but applied in 2010 and may not still be <br /> 6 interested at this point. <br /> 7 She suggested that the Board go forward with the nomination for Hillsborough and notify <br /> 8 the ASAB that the Commissioners want to fill these other positions, and recommendations are <br /> 9 needed. <br /> 10 Chair Jacobs made a request that future applications be put in alphabetical order. <br /> 11 He said historically, appointments that require more information were postponed until <br /> 12 that information was gathered or the clerk re-advertised the vacancy. He said the ASAB was <br /> 13 given the task of reviewing the unified animal control ordinance, and while it would be good to <br /> 14 have as many people helping with this as possible, it seems reasonable to first make sure the <br /> 15 applicants are a good fit and are still interested in serving. <br /> 16 Chair Jacobs said Commissioner Dorosin's motion regarding the at-large position has <br /> 17 no relevance to the recommendation of the advisory board. He suggested the other two <br /> 18 questionable vacancies be sent back to the advisory board for more information. <br /> 19 Commissioner Rich suggested the creation of a policy to designate information <br /> 20 regarding any special requirements. <br /> 21 Commissioner Dorosin summarized that positions 5 and 7 should be moved forward, <br /> 22 and the questions regarding Andrew Woods applicability for position 10, and Lori Shapiro's <br /> 23 continued interest be conveyed to the ASAB. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Commissioner Dorosin withdrew his motion to appoint Andrew Wood to position #10. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner Rich to <br /> 28 appoint Zack Ferguson to position # 7- At Large, with an expiration date of 6/30/2016. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 VOTE: Ayes, 5; Nays, 2 <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Commissioner McKee said he is concerned with applicants who might bring a position <br /> 33 with them that would be a disruption to the board. <br /> 34 <br /> 35 The Board directed the Clerk to discuss with the Animal Services Director whether or not <br /> 36 the proposed appointments to the positions of Animal Handler and Animal Advocacy meet the <br /> 37 required certifications for these positions; if so, to bring them back for Board consideration at <br /> 38 the December 10th meeting. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 d.
