He stated that the Ordinance reflected <br />all commission members should demonstrate an outstanding interest in the historical <br />conditions of the City and have experience in preservation. Council Member Fendley <br />pointed out that Lisa Wright had grants in which she had to participate in with other <br />organizations and she had to show that the members of that committee have experience in <br />historical preservation. Mayor Manning said they need to give others a chance to serve. <br />Council Member Ray said that Ms. Partridge lives in the historic district. Council Member <br />Fendley suggested that background checks be obtained prior to appointments, because ofthe <br />contents of the ordinance. Mayor Manning said they did not follow that procedure on the <br />other appointments. Council Member Fisher reiterated that no background checks had never <br />been done on any of the other board members. Council Member Fendley expressed concern <br />about violation of the ordinance. Council Member Wilson said if they simply want to make <br />a change, they should look at some of the people who are active in working with the <br />commission. Mayor Manning said he thought that was a good ideal for future vacancies. <br /> <br />Motion carried, 4 ayes - 2 nays, with Council Member Fendley and Council Member <br />Wilson casting the dissenting votes.
