2. Discussion and possible recommendation to Town Council of proposed
change to board and commission appointments.
Chairman Gribb stated the proposal would allow each Council Member to make
political appointments to each board and commission.
Town Councilman Kunisch affirmed the proposal and stated he was looking for
feedback. Mr. Kunisch stated the term of the appointees would expire when the
Council Members term expired.
Member Schoeppach stated his discomfort with the proposal.
Member Anderson stated she could not support the proposed change
without answers as to why the change is being requested.
Member Shelton stated what is happening is a group wants to change the
process but they are not interested in telling us why.
Member Schoeppach stated if this process gets political, it will
disempower citizens from wanting to participate in its government because the
chances of being able to be active would require you to know or be known by a
Council Member. It will not open voices, it will close voices and it would be a real
loss to the citizens of this town.
Member Buette, Anderson and Shelton agreed with Member Schoeppach.
•
The Members agree to draft a document to be presented at the Council Meeting
