The members of the Commission were in agreement that they would prefer to fill the position with a qualified individual without having the lengthy process of advertising if possible. Commissioner Stahlfelt that Mr. Flannery's suggestion is an interesting option and that each Commissioner should interview Mr. Harrington in the near future.

He advised that he had been contacted last evening by two individuals asking how the Commission intended to fill the vacancy and he had informed them that the Commission would discuss that at this meeting. He added that there are a number of well qualified people out of work at this time.

He reminded that the Commission has a regular meeting on August 16, 1991 at which action could be taken and that a special meeting could also be called if necessary. He observed that some of the Commission members will be away on vacation beginning near the end of August and stated that he felt the position should be filled before Mr. Flannery leaves if at all possible. Commissioner Cross advised he had already spoken to Mr. Harrington and was prepared to take action at this meeting as he was favorably impressed. Commissioners Armour and Stahl stated they wanted a chance to interview Mr. Harrington and any others that may be interested Commissioner Armour asked Mr. Flannery if he was certain that the Town Manager could also handle the part time building and zoning position. Town Manager Flannery replied that Mr. Harrington could, and possibly some others,but most likely not all Town Managers would be qualifed in the area of planning and zoning.
