Planning Commission Vacancy cont'd. <br />Mrs. R. Jones inquired whether the appointment of Mr. Bowler to the Planning <br />(^� Commission would mean that the Council will not consider his reappointment to <br />the Council. The Mayor answered that the appointment would, in his opinion, <br />have no bearing on the Council appointment. <br />Councilman Fowle commented that the Council should appoint a man of the <br />'inner circle'. He explained the choice should be someone who has been able <br />to gain some knowledge of the Town through service. <br />Councilman Davey commented it would be a loss to the Town not having the services <br />of Mr. Bowler, and suggested the Council might consider this appointment at the <br />next meeting after having had time to consider both candidates' qualifications. <br />Councilman Aiken commented that the Council knows both men and should consider <br />the appointment at this time. He further stated his objection to appointments <br />from the 'inner circle'; that the people of the Town would have more confidence <br />in the Town government if appointments were not made from the 'inner circle'. <br />Councilman Fowle explained his intent,'using the expression 'inner circle' as <br />meaning persons who have in some way been connected with or who have served <br />the Town. He further stated he wished these words could be expunged from the <br />record. <br />ACTION: <br />That action be deferred on the appointment filling the Planning Commission <br />vacancy to the next meeting. <br />MOTION: Lavey; <br />Motion died for lack of Second. <br />ACTION: <br />That Nominations be closed. <br />MOTION: Fowle; SECOND: Aiken; VOTE: Passed unanimously <br />Councilman Aiken stated that he did not wish to vote against Mr. Bowler, and <br />suggested that votes be polled for the two candidates.
