CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of January 24, 2022 — Regular Meeting Page 8 of 10 members have applied for reappointment. Katy Farmer is eligible for reappointment to a third full term and LeAnn Nash is eligible for a second full term. There is also currently one (1) regular member vacancy due to Courtney Icenhower not seeking reappointment for a third term. The alternate member position has been vacant for a year due to Ed Bakalla being appointed to the Planning & Zoning Commission in January 2021. All appointees' terms will be through January 31, 2024. MOTION: Vice Mayor Aramendia moved to reappoint regular members Katy Farmer to a third full term and LeAnn Nash to a second full term, terms effective through January 31, 2024. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Busch. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 5-0. Ms. Gardner advised that there was now one (1) regular member vacancy and one (1) alternate member vacancy, and she assumed from earlier remarks that the City Commission would wish to defer appointment of the alternate position, as they had with the Planning & Zoning Commission. CONSENSUS: The City Commission agreed by consensus to defer appointment of an alternate to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board until such time as there is a quorum issue, and it is felt necessary to appoint an alternate. Ms. Gardner advised the remaining vacancy was for a regular member position and there were five (5) applications being presented for City Commission consideration. Those applicants were: Larry Contrucci and Harley Parkhurst, who had both indicated their primary preference as the Planning & Zoning Commission but had also applied for the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board; and Laura Hatton, Robin Larkin, and Buffy Werle, who each had only applied for appointment to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. This appointment would be for a first full term effective through January 31, 2024. MOTION: Vice Mayor Aramendia moved to appoint Buffy Werle as a regular member to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for a first full term, term effective through January 31, 2024. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Meadows. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 5-0.
