APPOINTMENT TO SOUTH BURLINGTON PLANNING COMMISSION Councilman Cimonetti made a motion that no appointment be made to the Planning Commission until after the elections on May 21, 1974. Mr. Flaherty seconded the motion. Dr. Farrar felt that there had already been too much time spent on this without making an appointment. Mr. Cimonetti felt that the Council would be subject to adverse criticism if the appointment was made so close to the election. Mrs. Neubert felt we should proceed and make a decision because of the length of time the item had dragged on. The motion did not pass. The vote was one yes vote and four no votes, the yes vote being cast by Mr. Cimonetti. Chairman Nardelli then asked for nominations for the position of Planning Commissioner. Paul Farrar nominated John Dinklage to the unexpired term of Dr. Frederic O. Sargent, the term to expire in 1976. Chairman Nardelli asked if there were any other nominations and Mrs. Neubert placed the name of Arlene Krapcho in nomination. There being no other nominations, Mr. Flaherty made a motion to close the nominations. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Neubert and passed unanimously. The Council than unanimously agreed to make the appointment by secret ballot, which resulted in a vote of three for Mr. Dinklage and two for Mrs. Krapcho. Mr. Faherty then made a motion to appoint Mr. Dinklage to the Planning Commission to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. Sargent, the term to expire in 1976. The motion was seconded by Dr. Farrar and passed unanimously.
