members via email.
MOTION to elect Henry Happel as Chair of the board: Lauren Waterton
MOTION SECONDED: Paul Spitler
Discussion: Board member Thompson stated that if they were to circulate emails that he
would offer himself as a candidate.
Waterton stated that she made the motion so that elections were held in a public setting.
Pape clarified that with respect to the email, they would be sent to the staff liaison in order
to meet disclosure requirements. He was concerned that they would hear the majority of
the quorum present, not the majority of the board.
Thompson stated that the board members were aware of what was being voted on and that
it was a choice whether or not to be present for the meeting. He suggested that they move
forward with a vote.

11th.
Pape continued by suggesting that a board representative be present at the Commission
meetings regarding the UDC update.
