Reilly than asked for nominations for Clerk.
MOVED-Hersch: To nominate Christopher Olivieri as Clerk
SECOND-Reilly
VOTE: Unanimous in Favor
Reilly said that the past policy of rotating the Chair has not been done over the last eight years because members only serving a short time did not have the experience.
Reilly spoke about his policy, which will be to recognize persons in the order of the request except he will recognize first speakers first. There is no open public forum so that those wishing to bring a matter before the Board must schedule an appointment, and he requested that copies of the Rules and Regulations be given to all Members.
Meeting adjourned at 7:40 pm, and a celebration cake, provided by Mrs. Olivieri, was enjoyed by all.
