BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT REPLACEMENTS
Councilman Moore moved, seconded by Councilman McCall to accept Mayor Brodell’s recommendation of Mr. Ken Beadles and Mr. David White to the Board of Zoning Adjustments with an expiration date of January 2003 through December 2005, subject to a correction in the expiration date being provided by the Mayor’s Office. Mr. Roger DeRoeok was originally recommended but was withdrawn from consideration because the Jonesboro Code Book §14.40.01 requires one of the members of BZA be a member of the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission. The decision was made to draft an ordinance to amend the Jonesboro Code of Ordinances allowing for the Chair of the MAPC to serve as the Chair of the Board of Zoning Adjustments. The committee would review the ordinance at its next scheduled meeting.
