MOVE THE BOARD'S MEETING DATE-By: Julie McCoy Discussion was made on staffs thoughts on moving the board's meeting dates from the third Thursday of every month to the last week of every month due to lack of conference rooms. Board members stated that the fourth week was not a good week for them or for their businesses. They agreed to move the meetings to Wednesday's. They will continue to meet at the regularly scheduled times until a change is made to the ordinance. A called meeting was agreed upon for Wednesday, February 16, 2005. Another item that was discussed by staff internally prior to the meeting was the option to have a meeting every other month with the Board's approval. This was discussed and the board was not in favor of such change. Members believed that there were too many items to be discussed monthly. Julie McCoy mentioned to the board that any items that need to be put on an agenda can be called in or emailed before posting the agenda. BOARD CHARGED WITH SOLICITING NEW MEMBERS-By: Julie McCoy It was suggested to the Electrical Advisory Board members that the distribution of a Biographical information form to someone in their respective trade, would be beneficial to the board and city staff when new appointments are needed. By doing so, this would help recruit board members and provide recommendations to the City Council for upcoming positions.
