Dear Bill and Don,
In the last year or so I have found It Increasingly difficult
to attend Zoning Board of Appeals meetings due to frequent time
and date changes. This has created a burden on my dental practice
because patients are scheduled weeks and months In advance. The
most recent change to Tuesday afternoons ( of which I bad no knowledge
until after the fact) has proven Incompatable with my practice.
Therefore, in all fairness to the board and applicants for relief
through the appeals process, I.feel it proper to regretfully tender
my resignation.
It has been my pleasure to serve on the board these past few
years as I feel each citizen has an obligation to contribute what
he or she can to the betterment of the community.
Sincerely,
Bandon Brsgdon, DMD

Be; .Appointment of Associate Member to
the Zoning Board of Appeals
Dear Council Memberst
Dr. Randon Bragdon hes tendered his resignation as an Associate Member
of the Zoning Board of Appeals, and it is my understanding that an Order
accepting his resignation and an Order authorising appointment of a replacement
will be placed on the agenda for the Council Meeting of June 28th. In addition,
due ta other commitments, Bill Beutel has been unable to attend the last 6
meetings of the Board of Appeals, and it is anticipated that this situation
will continue for some time. Therefore, the Board currently has only 4 active
members and me active Associate member Me hear and decide administrative and/or
varia sea appeals.
Since the Zoning Ordinance k s four (4) votes for the granting of a
arias and/or administrative appeal, ethe Board hes traditionally allowed the
applicants a full 5 -member complament to hear appeals. Therefore, under the
current circumstances, the Board hes been forced to continue a number of
pending items either because of aconflict of interest of a member Or the
absenceOf a ember. For ample, all 4 Items scheduled for the June 15th
meting had to be continued due to the absence of me of its activemembers.
Furthermore, even if that member tad been present, one item would have had to
have been continued anyway due to a conflict of interest of one other Board
member
Doe to the aituation outlined above, the Board requested at its Jose
15th meeting that 'I contact the Council to urgenexpeditious appointment
of -a replacement for Dr. Bragdon. At the present time, it appears that at.
lease
a item pending before the Board will have to be continued until such
time as .a replacement is appointed. The Board is concerned that such e

situation serves neither the best interests of the City nor the applicant.
Although I realize that the Council generally continues an appointment
Order until a pool of applicants can be obtained for consideration, I
a
believ it is the Board's opinion that this particular vacancy should be
filled as some as possible.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact
very truly yours,
