haras sure yes sir the leberg public Arts Advisory Board commissioner Barry you have Miss Parker I will keep her so commissioner conell you have Gail Tyson yes commissioner Peterson you have Vicky Murphy yes um commissioner reesman that's my or mayor I'm gonna maintain well I have a question we were talking with Andy before I appointed Richard culvin so he is the but he is the chairperson of the board so I can't appoint him so I need to appoint another person to the board is what we discussed I think so I'm going to probably give me to the next meeting to appoint someone I believe it's written that the chairman of the parts was could be the chairman for the committee not voting and then each commissioner had I think that's correct all right that's correct so I just found that out so I'll make an appointment next meeting and then commissioner bur you have Simone Richardson correct all right Parks and Recreation Advisory Board commissioner Barry you have deanii Nettles um I'd like to keep him all right commissioner conell you have Clay Bell yes commissioner Peterson you have Joanie SMY yes I have Jeff sarik I will maintain him and commissioner Berry you have Roger Croft yes all right um one thing I do ask is uh if staff could get with the lebur public Arts Advisory Board and create some kind of board structure um with their Miss and what their objectives are so um with that we will go back to the agenda EXC May quick question on The Advisory board for the Arts they meet when so that's what I was just asking that's what I want to be if they could create an outline and uh with this first of the year maybe we get a meeting under our belt and then go from there um just with their mission and their objectives and what they're supposed to be doing but would they need to meet monthly or that would be I think that's up to the determination of the board okay um I know the airport Advisory Board met once a month and they moved it down to quarterly CU they could fit it into quarterly and they didn't have that much stuff on there so that's usually up to the board's discretion all right and then we need to appoint people to the electric Advisory Board um I think we had four people apply um Michael Ranken I think he was one Joshua Brewster Bethany Burge and then Amanda mcclee and our appointments that we need to fill are small business large business and Lake County correct Miss Andy yes sir do we need to introduce the resolution ROP yes oh sorry you're right can we get a motion to introduce Six B sorry I'll introdu has to be read by tyone resolution of the city Commission of the city of lebur Florida appointing members to the lebur electric Advisory Board and providing an effective date second all right so with that will we take any nominations and discussion on this for these board members yeah let me let me help you out here because this one this one's a little tricky uh because these are these are fouryear terms um so Andy if you would help me out here too so there were two members and and so there four-year terms for specific their types there're four okay and I'm pretty sure they're four and um there were specific types of positions so it was a city customer a Fruitland Park customer an unincorporated customer a large Electric commercial customer and a small electric commercial customers for four year for fouryear terms there was two members that we appointed for two-year terms I believe that was robu two year terms are they two-year terms commission two-year [Music] terms oh there you go about five number two your St I don't know why four was sticking on my head do say St you're staggering I thought you staggered yes that's why I'm getting confused because we had something that was Stagg commercials were one year and the other ones were two years oh you so we might have reappointed neither Jesse Jesse wanted to re apply so some so if you got five you oh so you got well you got okay well we got three up now so you should make the these are the twoe terms so the two remaining on the board which would be Mark Roberts and Jack have one year left okay so it's two year and we have two that are existing that will so we're we're looking for three positions yeah and the three positions are and and I didn't get a chance to look who the who were the the applicants uh Mike rank he would be an unincorporated or or small business uh Joshua Brewster I don't know if he would qualify for small business okay because I don't know where his business is located is it um is it on leberg electric in Fruitland Park the downtown business oh he could be the downtown bu yes okay Bethany bur and Amanda mcle where did so Amanda would be the the large business representing um Lake Imaging who Josh would be would be a qualifier for the the city resident which is actually Jack seed which is what what was the the fourth um methan Bethany bur boss she's on right realy connection is the business listed associate business address is Dixie uh mailing address is Park Avenue Park Drive in leeburg so she be small business she could be small business or small what is it small large small why don't you do this one step at a time to make it easy that's what we want to do you do the unincorporated first all right let's do unincorporated do we have any which would be Mr ranking rank okay is everyone okay with Mr rank all right do we need to roll call on each of those no do we'll just put that into the resum okay um small business that's Jack as is no that that's vacated correct so that would give you Bethany Bethany yes Bethany bur and then our large business would be just so Amanda Amanda mcle with Lake Medical Imaging is everybody okay with those nominations good to me all right so we need a roll call on that uh do we need a oh we got okay sorry commissioner canel yes commissioner Peterson yes oops commissioner Barry yes commissioner bur yes mayor reesman yes with that I just want to say I think that's the last thing our meeting just want to say oh no we got city manager right I'm sorry I don't have anything all right roll call commissioner canel uh a couple things one is I want to thank
