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, the floor would be open for discussion. Council member Edstrom explained that she requested the potential reconsideration of the June 20", 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 20" 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 20" 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. 7-1 8-05 Minutes 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 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 20" 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 20" meeting requesting that appointments be made based on qualification and merit. Robert Radder, 1 Lee Ct. - Insisted Council reconsider the June 20" appointments especially considering the relationship of Scott Smith and Beck properties as advertised during the last election.

Jackie Stephens, 336 Inverness Dr. - Beseeched Council to reconsider the June 20' 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 20" 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 20". Motion tied 2:2, with Council member Edstrom and Mayor Pro Tem Cates voting for reconsideration and Council members, Williams and Foley voting against.

Council member Foley objected, expressing that as Mr. Marc Richards had suggested, all Council members need to be present.

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 2oth 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. 7-18-05 Minutes 8 Floor was opened to make a motion to rescind resolution 2005-14 Council member Edstrom made a motion to rescind 2005-14, Mayor Pro Tem Cates seconded the motion.

The Town Attorney Adam confirmed that we could place on the consent agenda.

After consultation with Town Attorney Adam, Mayor Sanders stated that unless there is an objection he would make a ruling from the chair.
