A. HAPB Vacancy Status

advisory boards indicated the vaconcy to be filled was one that included engineering,
arc hite cture ond construc t ion.
- The candidate selected, Gladivette Benisrosch (phonetic), had more ofa real
estate/finance background, but the other candidate, James Bennett (phonetic) had an
engineering degree.
- Liaison thought we should not be forwarding the candidate who didn'tfilt the
category adyertised, so should bring back for reconsideration James Bennett who has
an engineering degree.
-Alternatively, request the Board of County Commissioners opproye 2 peopte lo .fill
same cdtegory. Prior history shows that has been done despite the Code of Low &
Ordinances stating there must be one person per cotegory.
- Eugene Erjovec stated the boqrd had voted to approve Gladivette Benisroschfor
appointment and not James Bennett, so he is willing to use her yrith some "quick
Jixes" and is willing to make her at large.

board to befilled, and that Gladivette Benisrosch probably did not know the
qualifications of the board vacancy.

(appearing telephonically) recognized so she can porticipate in the vote. Carried
unanimously 5-0.

at ldrge. Ray Bellows advised board could not do that. Ms. Sherry acquiesced.

Benisroschfrom consideration by the Board of County Commissioners and submit
James Bennett as the nominee to fill the board vacancy. Elizabeth perdichizzi offered
second in support ofthe motion. Carried I infovor, 1 opposed.
