Thank you and hope that this finds you well. - Myles ————————————— Memo to Mayor Arndt and Councilmenbers Please review brief motion attached below - unanimously approved today by the SAB. Issue: Ensuring all B&C’s have Code-mandated member levels Filling interim B&C vacancies in a timely manner has been a recurring problem during the past decade. Prior attention to this matter by some former council members has been unsatisfactory. Please address the issue and kindly approve a timely solution so that the problem does not recur. Thank you. Myles Myles Crane, Chair SAB Agenda Item VI Memorandum to Council Re. Board Member Shortage “Re. Municipal Ordinance No. 049,2021 Sec.2-112 Senior Advisory Board “The Board shall consist of nine (9) members.” Currently the Senor Advisory Board (SAB) consists of only eight members. This is an unacceptable situation which has occurred In two of the past three years. The SAB strongly endorses the proposal by Council Liaison Gutowsky that: 1) The City initiate efforts to recruit a 9th Board member as soon as feasible. 2) When two or more candidates are found acceptable during the interview process, the City’s records should retain a list of their names with a private notation for any one candidate whom the interviewing Councilmembers consider an appropriate backup. The SAB looks forward to having its ninth Board member as soon as possible.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: 1) During the Jan 12th SAB meeting , Tammi Pusheck commented that she is currently exploring options. 2) SAB is appreciative of Council Liaison Gutowsky’s support in this matter.
