Leslies Tobin. Ms. Tobin currently serves as the Registered Architect on the Planning Board. She has requested to be appointed to the Design Review Board. 2. Francis Michael (Mike) Steffens. Mr. Steffens is a practicing architect who has previously served on the DRB, and has applied for the Planning Board, Design Review Board or the Historic Preservation Board. Although the City Code requires all members of the Planning Board to be a _ resident of the City, the City Commission may waive the residency requirement by a 5 /7ths vote, in the event a person not meeting these requirements is available to serve on the board and is exceptionally qualified by training and /or experience. 3. Marilys Nepomechie. Ms. Nepomechie is a practicing architect and Faculty Member of Florida International University, and has applied the Historic Preservation Board. Due to scheduling conflicts, Ms. Nepomechie is not available for the Planning Board. 4. Ira Giller Mr. Giller is a practicing architect who has applied for the Historic Preservation Board. Ms. Nepomechie and Mr. Giller have only applied for the Historic Preservation Board. Pursuant to Section 118 -32 of the City Code, no person shall be appointed to the Planning Board, Design Review Board, Historic Preservation Board, or the Board of Adjustment unless he or she has filed an application with the City Clerk on the form prescribed, not less than ten (10) days before the date of appointment. The City Commission may waive this requirement by a 5 /7ths vote, provided such waiver shall only be granted one time per board, per meeting, provided further that any applicant granted such a waiver files his or her application prior to being sworn in as a member of these boards. Such a waiver would be required in order for Ms. Nepomechie or Mr. Giller to be appointed to a Board other than the Historic Preservation Board. The Board Applications and Resumes for the above individuals are attached. All of the above individuals are well qualified for the vacant positions on the Planning, Design Review and Historic Preservation Boards. The two (2) vacancies on the DRB are beginning to reach a critical point in terms of affecting meetings and agenda's, as only five (5) members currently comprise the DRB and a minimum of four (4) are needed to conduct a meeting. The Administration recommends that the vacant positions on the development boards be filled as quickly as possible, so as to avoid any fut re issues relative to Board quorums.
