Ms. Love <br /> recruited in her neighborhood for a replacement.

The Council asks each of its individual Advisory <br /> Board or Commission to interview applicants and make recommendations to the Town Council <br /> for any vacancies. <br /> Please see the attached Chapel Hill Planning Board minutes reference Ms. Hafts attending the <br /> January 16, 2002 meeting along with other applicants. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: None <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): Either. <br /> 1.) Appoint Ms. Suzanne Haff to the Chapel Hill Planning Board — JPA position; or, <br /> 2.) Send a letter to the Chapel Hill Town Council requesting that it change its procedure and <br /> make a recommendation for the JPA position. <br />
