He feels they should all be citizen members. Committee is close to exhausting members for the adjustment board from the townships. Board members are valuable in some cases. The majority of the members should be citizen members. Supervisor Bailey had some questions on the budget considerations for the Board of Adjustments: Should they have a seperate budget? Decisions are not timely (30 day process). Must they be written? Supervisor Breault questioned as to whether we should use same staff or hire personnel? Should we privatize position from County Board? Roger Merrill, Town of Troy said all concerns are serious. He views all Board of Adjustments as juries. Members should have some guidelines from Corporation Counsel. Rita Horne feels it is very interesting that County Board rules on this issue. Administration Chair Oemichen read a letter from County Board Chair Robert Boche. Cyril Cernohous would like an opinion from the Courts on majority of the board being citizen members.
