1) Member absences were discussed. Jan Kantor stated that Pat Neale
had informed him of his probable absence . Mike McNees reported
that the County Attorney had opined that Tim Constantine was now
ineligible for membership as a result of his establishment of a
campaign account in order to pursue election to the County
Commission. It was determined that under County ordinance two
consecutive absences without "satisfactory excuse" were cause
for removal , and that Brad Estes and Zac Lucio had missed two
consecutive meetings. Jan Kantor asked Mike McNees to notify
these two members that under this provision the committee
considered their seats vacant.
(NOTE) : Subsequent check with the County Attorney has determined
that the required procedure is for the committee to declare the-
seats vacant, followed by a letter from the committee chairman
to the Commission asking them to ratify those vacancies.
2) Discussion of the previous committee reports and follow-up
information. A number of committee members felt it is important
to establish a better or more formal follow-up/reporting
mechanism for committee recommendations . No specific mechanisms
were established.
It was determined that committee members should be allowed to
bring in other outside expertise for research and study
assistance as available and as each member sees fit.
