COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE <br />AUGUST 10, 2015 4:35 PM <br />Committee Present: Karen White, Gavin Ferlic, Derek Dieter, Tim Scott, Henry Davis, <br />Valerie Schey, Oliver Davis, Dr. David Varner, Dr. Fred Ferlic <br />Agenda: Interview Applicants for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street Naming <br />Committee <br />Councilmember Karen White who serves as Chair of the Committee of the Whole convened this rarely <br />called meeting of the committee to interview applicants for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. street <br />renaming committee. <br />It should be noted the special ad hoc committee was established by the Council to make <br />recommendations for a designation to the Mayor who would ostensibly then ask the Board of Public <br />Works which he appoints and the body with the actual authority to take action do so. The Committee <br />was to be made up of seven members, four appointed by the Council and three by the Mayor while <br />there was no time limit for reaching consensus, it was expected the Committee would make timely <br />recommendations. <br />Five citizens responded the Council's call for applicants. Each applicant was called in individually to be <br />interviewed briefly by the full Council. Each applicant in turn, was asked why they wanted to serve on <br />the Committee. <br />The five applicants were Sidney Blanchet, Deborah Walker, Sam Brown, John Primmer and Sherri <br />Richmond and were interviewed in that order. <br />Ultimately the Council unanimously named four from the pool excluding John Primmer. The Clerk's <br />office was to notify all applicants by mail, which would include a copy of the enabling resolution. <br />Karen adjourned the meeting at 5:12 pm. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Z r6t 4,4�a-ez, <br />Karen White, Chairperson <br />Committee of the Whole <br />
