For the Record: Member Tilby’s Comments “As I stated in the work session I do want to clarify for the month’s minutes, my affirmative vote for the motion made by Jerry Zeller, “to approve the pier based on the zoning, parking and use.” In that meeting I did not hear nor understand that we were voting on final plans for the pier. The one page document that I received when I arrived for the February 24, 2009 meeting outlined the various uses in the Pavilion as well as the parking and had a sketch of the attached pier. I received information that in their meeting, the Town Council approved the final plans based on a recommendation from the Planning Commission. This was the first time that I personally heard that we had approved final plans. My clarification is not directly related to the pier but to the process for providing information.” Member Sandifer asked to let the record show that he agrees with Member Tilby’s observation. Public Comment: None Vice-Chair Jerry Zeller asked if there were any more business in front of the Commission. There being none he asked for a motion to adjourn. Member Tilby made the motion, Member Sandifer provided a second and the vote was unanimous to adjourn at 5:15 pm. Freedom of Information Act, § 30-4-80(3) was complied with.
