Public Comments Judith Uhrig, Chair of the Board of Appeals, read a letter to the board expressing her dissatisfaction with regard to the previous meeting. Mrs. Uhrig had attended the Board meeting the previous week, to take part in the discussion regarding Annual Appointments and Reappointments to the Board of Appeals. Unfortunately the agenda items were addressed out of order and Mrs. Uhrig was not present for this discussion. She believes had she been there several comments made by the Board could have been addressed. Mrs. McKenna apologized for any inconvenience this may have cause and explained that the items were taken out of order to accommodate two scheduled and posted hearings. Mrs. McKenna informed Mrs. Uhrig the Board has invited the four candidates for the vacancy on the Board of Appeals to the next meeting.
