Jay Nimtz, Chairperson Eugenia Schwartz, Kevin Butler, Karen L. Kiemnec, and Elizabeth Straw October 14, 1985 12:00 noon - LaSalle Hotel 1. Liaison Committee,Membership The attorneys indicated that as it now stands, a liaison committee member must be a homeowner. To change that, each set of standards would need to be changed according to its own procedures. In Riverside, a review must be done "at least every five years" so that any time between now and five years, a review can be held. The results must then be voted on by the neighborhood. The attorneys pointed out that unless the current Preservation Plan were changed, a renter could then serve on the liaison committee but not vote with the neighborhood. 0 2.
