to the ranking sheet that lists all six names and explained that each
Commissioner must place a number from one to six beside each name with
number one to be the first choice and number 6 to be the last choice.
The Mayor pointed out that there is also a ranking sheet for the members
of the ARPB and one for the Town Commission, each of which will be
considered following the selection of the 3 at -large members. Mayor Koch
then asked if this procedure was acceptable to each member of the Commis-
sion. There were no suggestions to do otherwise. Mayor Koch then opened
for nominations for the 3 at -large members. Commissioner Wallace placed
in nomination all six applicants as follows: Muriel Anderson, Fred Devitt III,
Perry O'Neal, Grant Williams, Howard Wilson and Sara Winston. Sara Winston
was seated on the first round of ranking, Fred Devitt, III was seated on
the second round of ranking, and Howard Wilson was seated on the third
round of ranking.
Mayor Koch then asked for nominations to fill one seat from the membership
of the Architectural Review and Planning Board. Commissioner Wallace
stated that she was aware that at least one member of that board did not
want to serve on the task force. Discussion was then held and it was
decided to remove the names of those who should not be considered. Comm..
Wallace reported that Susanna Souder had indicated she would not be available
during the summer and did not care to serve. Mr. Lynch, speaking from
the audience, stated he also would be unavailable during the summer and
did not care to serve. It was pointed out that Mr. Ogren, the architect
on the ARPB, was not a resident in the town and as such should not be
considered for the task force. Mayor Koch observed that there are now
4 members, Joan Orthwein, Donald McGraw, Jr., Betsy S. Hvide, and Robert
Hopkins, II, who may be considered for one seat on the task force. The
Mayor then opened for nominations. Commissioner Armour nominated all
four persons previously listed. A tally of the ranking sheets by the
Town Manager and Town Clerk revealed that Joan Orthwein had been selected
as the representative on the task force from the ARPB.
