Home Browse Search

Item No. 11 TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & City Council Grayson Path, City Manager FROM: Janice Ellis, City Clerk SUBJECT: APPOINTMENTS TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT DATE: July 8, 2024 BACKGROUND: The Board of Adjustment is created by State Law and codified under Section 16-100 of the City Zoning Ordinance. This Section states in part: "there is hereby created a Board of Adjustment consisting of five (5) members, each to be appointed by resolution of the City Council for a term of two years." The City Council may appoint two alternate members of the Board of Adjustment who shall serve in the absence of one or more of the regular members when requested to do so by the Mayor or City Manager. STATUS OF ISSUE: Currently the terms of the three of the regular board members (Carlton Cooper, Lydia Fitzgerald, & David Hamilton) expired June 30. In addition, Alix Putnam vacated her term, because she was elected to City Council. This leaves four vacant regular positions and one alternate position that has been vacated since 2023. We have received applications from the following persons: Harley Draven, Stacy Ladell, David Hamilton, Larry Walker, Richard Thompson, William Sanders and A.W. "Plug" Clem. Larry Walker is currently serving in an alternate position so if he is appointed to a regular position, we will need two alternates appointed to the Board. BUDGET: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Approve a Resolution appointing/re-appointing four regular board members and one alternate board members.
