Mr. Kohs adequately conveyed his concern and chose rather to speak to Mrs. Neidenberger’s

TOWN COUNCIL TO CONVENE INTO PUBLIC HEARING
PUBLIC HEARING

An Ordinance regulating Fencing, Retaining Walls and Screening Standard Regulations.
Planning and Zoning Coordinator, Kerin Fleck advised Council that the suggested amendments are to
definitions pertaining only to fences and will be added to the Definitions section of the Zoning
Ordinance. Definitions that no longer appear in the text have been deleted. Definitions have
been in regard to new materials.
TOWN COUNCIL TO RECONVENE INTO REGULAR SESSION
*REGULAR SESSION
D.1 Discuss and take appropriate action regarding an Ordinance regulating Fencing, Retaining Walls
and Screening Standard Regulations.
Council member Edstrom made a motion to amend the Zoning Ordinance, 2000-06 P&Z regulating
Fencing, Retaining Walls and Screening Standard Regulations; Council member Williams
seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously with no discussion.
D.2 Discuss and take appropriate action regarding the potential reconsideration by Council of the
passage of Resolution Number 2005-14:
A. Discuss and take appropriate action regarding the method used for evaluating applicants for
appointments to commissions and boards.
Mayor Sanders stated that item D2B was added to the agenda per request made by Council member
Edstrom. The Mayor also explained that he is conducting the meetings according to Robert’s
Rules of Order, which are different than what this Council has been using in the past. The Mayor
explained that he would seek a motion from a Council member and once the motion is seconded,
82
the floor would be open for discussion. Council member Edstrom explained that she requested
the potential reconsideration of the June 20th, P & Z appointment be posted on this Agenda
stemmed from the fact that a motion was made, seconded and passed without any discussion.
Council member Edstrom questioned how the other members accurately evaluated the
qualifications for appointments made at the June 20th meeting with out any discussion. Mayor
Sanders explained that the process for appointing candidates to expiring seats this year had been
unclear and applications for various positions had been accepted all year. Mayor Sanders
expressed hesitation that not all applicants have been adequately considered. Mayor Sanders
suggested the following methodology for appointments.
• Applications will only be accepted when there is an opening or preceding the current
year’s expiration date.
• Dates for accepting applications will be posted and will only be accepted by the
Town Secretary.
• Town Council should nominate candidates, based on the recommendations from
Boards, Commissions and Advisor Groups.
• Town Council should vote for the nominated candidates.
• Appointments will be made as outlined in the vote going to the top candidates
according to open seats.
Mayor Sanders opened the floor for discussion.
Council member Foley commented that she is in favor of term limits for members serving on Advisory
Groups, Boards and the Commission just to give it some rotation. Mayor Pro Tem Cates advised
that term dates pose issues due to lack of interested candidates. Council member Williams
suggested that it is the responsibility of the Board or Commission chairman to make
recommendations to Council for consideration. Council member Williams went on, indicating
that he did not feel that Chairman Hill actually offered a recommendation at the June 20th
meeting, but rather spoke to a particular candidate’s community involvement.
Council member Edstrom related that she is opposed to term limits. She does not feel that it is right to
hold the Advisory Group, Board and Commission members accountable to a term limit when the
Council members are not. Council member Edstrom also suggested that the other Council
members look at the qualifications of the candidates and review applicants based on the merits of
the candidate’s qualifications ensuring that we are getting the absolute, best candidates available.
Mayor Pro Tem advised that she feels that we should also look at the member’s attendance when deciding
on appointments.
B. Discuss and take appropriate action regarding Resolution No. 2005-14 appointing citizens to
four seats on the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The Mayor defined the process of motions for reconsideration, according to Roberts Rules of Orders, and
that it is not a parliamentary procedure but an item that is allowed by our laws as governed by the
State to place an item on the agenda and discus only items on the agenda.
Council member Edstrom made the motion that the Council reconsider the appointments to resolution
2005-14 of citizens to the Planning & Zoning Commission; Mayor Pro Tem Cates seconded.
The floor was again opened for discussion.
Council member Foley questioned why Edstrom is requesting the reconsideration.
Council member Edstrom spoke in favor of reconsideration of Resolution 2005-1. She explained that
after a very detailed review of the last Council meeting tape, she felt that the open position
appointment needed to be reconsidered as two candidates, who qualifications and expertise stood
83
out over the rest. Council member Edstrom advised that due to Council’s lack of discussion in
regard to the merits and qualifications of the candidates, that the Council did not show a very
balanced detail and discussion of the individual candidates and backgrounds and therefore the
residents were not privileged to know Council came to their decision. She informed the other
members that the supplement application for Mr. Moss had not been included to the June 20th
packet, which further indicated that the Council did not have the necessary information in order to
make the appropriate appointments.
Mayor Pro Tem Cates stated that she would like to see qualified people on the Boards especially with the
potential of future development.
Council member Foley suggested previous community experience gained from serving on Boards and
Council along with knowledge of the Town’s ordinances should be considered equivalent
experience compared to that of a candidate processing the essential qualifications.
The following citizens spoke to Item D2B:
Melanie Devlin, 3 Creekmere - Asked Council to reconsider the appointments made at the June 20th
meeting requesting that appointments be made based on qualification and merit.
Robert Radder, 1 Lee Ct. - Insisted Council reconsider the June 20th appointments especially considering
the relationship of Scott Smith and Beck properties as advertised during the last election.
Marc Richards, 6 Muirfield - Implored Council to reconsider the June 20th appointments and to appoint
Steve Stamos due to experience and qualifications.
Jackie Stephens, 336 Inverness Dr. - Beseeched Council to reconsider the June 20th appointments advising
of resident’s reluctance to apply for Boards and Commission due to the personal relationships that
affect Council’s judgment with making appointments.
John P. Rodgers, 27 W. Hillside Place – Submitted a letter, respectfully requesting that Council
reconsider the June 20th appointments and to appoint Mr. Steve Stamos to the Commission.
Hearing no request for more discussion, Mayor Sanders called for the vote on the motion to reconsider the
P&Z appointments of June 20th. Motion tied 2:2, with Council member Edstrom and Mayor Pro
Tem Cates voting for reconsideration and Council members, Williams and Foley voting against.
Mayor Sanders referenced the Charter and advised that in case of a tie vote; the Mayor shall have a
casting vote. Mayor Sanders asked that Council reflect upon their previous vote, as he would call
for a second vote. Motion tied again, 2:2, with Council member Edstrom and Mayor Pro Tem
Cates voting for reconsideration and Council members, Williams and Foley voting against.
The vote was called a third time. The Motion to reconsider passed 3:2 with the Mayor voting for.
The Mayor advised that reconsideration of the P & Z appointments was now on the table.
Council member Williams clarified with Mayor Sanders that reconsideration would be for all of the open
seats on the P & Z Commission.
The Mayor asked for nominations.
Council member Foley interjected that she felt that Council member Spence should be present to cast his

Mayor Sander advised that he would be calling for the vote again, pending no objections and that he
would be participating in the vote due to the tie. Council member Foley objected, expressing that
as Mr. Marc Richards had suggested, all Council members need to be present. Mayor Sanders
allowed that comment but advised a motion to table was not a debatable issue and noted that he
respectfully understood where Council member Foley was coming from, preceded to the vote.
The motion to table the reconsideration of the P & Z appointments until all Council members could be
present failed 3:2, with Council members, Williams and Foley voting for and Council member
Edstrom, Mayor Pro Tem Cates and Mayor Sanders voting against.
Item was not tabled, Mayor Sanders asked for nominations.
Council members, Williams and Foley argued that appointments could not be reconsidered, considering
the resumes were not included in this agenda or this packet. Mayor Sanders advised that the
whole item was posted on this agenda. Mayor Sanders confirmed with Town Attorney Adams
that Council could proceed with the vote, as the resumes and applications were previously
provided to Council. Council member Foley also went on record stating that she did not
remember reviewing all applications that were included in the June 20th packet, as it had been a
month since that meeting. Council member Edstrom replied that Council member Foley’s lack of
memory was even more reason for reconsideration of the appointments.
Mayor Sanders confirmed with Town Attorney Adams that there is no parliamentary item in Robert’s
Rules of Orders that precludes moving forward. Town Attorney Adams advised that there is no
parliamentary rule to state that the applications and resumes need to be provided again, since they
were previously provided. Mayor Sanders called a 30-minute recess to allow Council Members
an opportunity to review hardcopies of applications as provided by staff.
The Council reconvened. The Mayor advised that in order to proceed, we have to have a resolution to
rescind 2005-14.
Council member Foley advised that she still has a problem with everything that is happening, as it is not
on the agenda.
Mayor Sanders explained that according to Town Attorney Adams this item was posted as: “Discuss and
take appropriate action regarding Resolution No. 2005-14 appointing citizens to four seats on the
Planning and Zoning Commission,” which was very vague and did not say exactly the type of
action that could be taken. Council member Foley questioned if the repealing of the resolution
was on the agenda. Town Attorney advised that she did prepare a resolution to repeal resolution
2005-14 in anticipation of the action that would be taken. Ms. Adams said that she did put the
resolution into Agenda Management, but did not know why it was not there.
Mayor Sanders requested that Council member Foley’s objection be noted for the record. Council
member Foley expressed concerns for actions being taken that were not included in the agenda,
those items being resumes and evaluations, supplemental application was not included in the
agenda, but was in a previous agenda and the resolution to rescind was not included in the packet.
Floor was opened to make a motion to rescind resolution 2005-14

his vote. The vote to rescind 2005-14 tied a second time with Council member Edstrom and

in the vote to include Gene Hill, Clayton Reed, Steve Stamos and Andy Hayes as appropriate
action. The Town Attorney Adams confirmed that we could place on the consent agenda. Ms.
Adams also clarified that we are posted for this action and just because this resolution was not
included in the packet does not mean that we are not in violation of the Open Meetings Act.

Hill, Clayton Reed, Steve Stamos and Andy Hayes to the P & Z Commission; Mayor Pro Tem
Cates seconded.

without a resolution number. Council member Edstrom suggested that action could be taken
tonight as item is posted properly.
Mayor Sanders asked Council member Foley if she still had reservations about this item. Council
member Foley advised that this item was for 2005-14 only, and that she liked things to be very
clear.
After consultation with Town Attorney Adams, Mayor Sanders stated that unless there is an objection he
would make a ruling from the chair. Ruling from the chair: since 2005-blank was considered in
the agenda like last time without an item, it was properly before us that it would be the item that
was voted upon, to fill in the blanks, given a number and passed as a resolution.
Vote tied 2:2, with Council member Edstrom and Mayor Pro Tem Cates voting for and Council members,

contact all applicants to see if they were still interested in applying. He continued by requesting
that Council interview all interested candidates.
