BUS INESS Chairman Vastine announced that in the workshop this after- noon, the Chair had prepared a motion for the men, ers' con- sideration. He read the motion twice and then asked for a discussion. He continued that he thought such an ordinance would be appropriate since there are other boards existing right now under the charter that are so complemented by staggered terms. I want to compliment the members for their service. Possibly after January, an entirely new board could be appointed ~md if this is the case and new regulations are completed, there should be somebody on this board that has had some experience on this board previously. Other boards have staggered terms and think we should also. Mr. Kos~r said that it would possibly be in order to insert "amendment to the present ordinance~'' in this motion and the others agreed. ~Lr. Kos~er then made a motion that it be recommended to the Boynton Beach City Council that an amendment to the present ordinance be prepared and enacted, as soon as possible, pro- viding for staggered terms of office for members of the Plan- ning and Zoning Board in order to ensure a continuity of experience, effective, and efficient operation of the duties and responsmbm~_tmes of said Board. ~.~ Ke~!y seconded the motion.
