19 <br /> POSITION EXPIRATION VACANCY INFORMATION <br /> DESIGNATION DATE <br /> Alternate 06/30/2022 This position has been vacant since <br /> 08/10/2020. <br /> Alternate 06/30/2021 This position has been vacant since <br /> 02/16/2021. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin recommended Elizabeth Bronson for an alternate position. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton seconded Commissioner Dorosin's recommendation <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said Adam Beeman is on the Planning Board and now <br /> potentially on the Board of Adjustment. She asked if there was a position on the Board of <br /> Adjustment that was intended for a member of the Planning Board. She said she is concerned <br /> about a person serving on both boards. <br /> Thom Freeman-Stuart said there is not a position for a member of the Planning Board <br /> on the Board of Adjustment. <br /> Chair Price said she thought Adam Beeman was expressing in his application that a <br /> position should be held on the Board of Adjustment for a member of the Planning Board. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said she does not think a person should be on both boards, due <br /> to a potential conflict of interest. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin agreed with Commissioner Hamilton. <br /> The Board agreed by consensus to appoint Nathan Robinson and Elizabeth Bronson to <br /> alternate positions on the Board of Adjustment. <br /> The Board agreed by consensus to appoint Leon Meyers to a Regular At-Large <br /> Position. <br /> John Roberts said there may be a requirement in the UDO for a member of the Planning <br /> Board to serve on the Board of Adjustment, and requested time to research. <br /> Chair Price asked if the BOCC agreed to appoint Leon Meyers to the Regular At-Large <br /> position. <br /> The Board agreed by consensus. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if any member of the Planning Board is already a member <br /> of the Board of Adjustment. <br /> Thom Freeman-Stuart said there is a person appointed to the position that used to be a <br /> member of the Planning Board. He said this position was an At-Large position that was <br /> formerly a member of the Planning Board. <br /> Commissioner Bedford asked if that member was Kent Qandil. <br /> Thom Freeman-Stuart confirmed. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said that the UDO states that, "one regular member of the Board <br /> of Adjustment shall be a member of the Planning Board." <br /> Chair Price asked if the Planning Board determines who of its members will serve on the <br /> Board of Adjustment. <br /> Thom Freeman-Stuart said no one volunteered to be on both boards. <br /> Chair Price said it seems that Adam Beeman is volunteering to be on both boards, at <br /> this point. <br /> Chair Price asked if this was a decision that had to be made by the Planning Board or <br /> the Board of County Commissioners. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said it is a requirement of the UDO. <br />
