He suggests Doug <br /> Guilds because he is a long time resident and has the qualifications and discloses that <br /> he is a friend . <br /> Tipton asks if he is the only applicant that does not live within the municipality . <br /> Sassaman states that Ribner also lives in the Orange County planning jurisdiction, but <br /> he has no experience . <br /> Grunwald suggests Brian Rosa, although he is in Hillsborough town limits . <br /> Pollock notes that he is the head of organics management for the State . He is <br /> knowledgable and has experience .
