Following the public hearing, Ms. Wilson advised the Commissioners that the City Council had
revised the start date for tenure for all boards and commissions to coincide with the new election
date for City Council members. This action extends the term of office for those whose term is to
end in December 2013 to June 2014 and those whose term is to end in December 2014 to June
2015, effectively lengthening the current term of service by six months.
Mr. David Terre, City Council Liaison, explained the reasons for the change of tenure date.
There being no further questions or discussion, Acting Chairman Haines adjourned the meeting
at 6:40 p.m.
