Body
ISSUE AND BACKGROUND:
With the recent departure of former City Administrator Tammi Saddler Jones, a vacancy has been created on the License and Variance Board. Additionally, Kevin Moore has served as an alternate for the Board, but in his capacity as City Engineer, he is required to make recommendations and review License and Variance Board requests. In order to maintain transparency and avoid a conflict of interest, his term as an alternate will expire on September 30, 2020.

The License and Variance Board will vote at their regularly scheduled meeting on October 14, 2020 to appoint a Chair and a Secretary. All members of the Board
Current Regular Board Members are Fire Chief Roy Acree and Public Works Director Frank Martin. Current Alternate Board Members are Deputy Fire Chief Brian Marcos, Library Director Mary Moore and City Engineer Kevin Moore (term to expire 9-30-2020).
