(c) Commissioner Harry Bauer - Commissioner Bauer told how happy
he was that the Drexel muter had
been cleared up and that he had been working on a new letterhead
for the Town with the new seal that he designed some time ago.
He then stated that he had submitted his letter of resignation
from the Town Commission, this morning, effective immediately.
Commissioner Bauer said that he would be willing to stay for a
limited period of time to help the Town select a successor.
Mayor Horton then read for the record Commissioner Bauer's
letter of resignation. Mayor Horton inquired of Commissioner
Bauer if he would be willing to stay until July 31, 1980 inasmuch
as with two Commissioners on vacation, the Town would be without
a quorum. Commissioner Bauer agreed to do this.
Mayor Horton then called for a MOTION WITH REGRET that the resignation
of Commissioner Bauer be accepted and be effective on July 31, 1980.
Commissioner Genovese objected to this, saying this was too hasty,
• and he would like this matter kept in abeyance. He said he would
appreciate Mayor Horton appointing a committee of two, including
himself, to call upon Commissioner Bauer to see if he would change
his mind.
Commissioner Bauer said he would like to leave as soon as possible,
and asked that the Commission honor his request. He requested
that someone second the MOTION.
Commissioner Genovese reluctantly seconded this MOTION. Vice Mayor
Storm stated that he felt sorry Commissioner Bauer was leaving the
group, but since he had stated that it was final and irreversible,
the Vice Mayor said he would be happy to go along with what Commissioner
Bauer wanted.
In polling the Commission, the vote was as follows: Commissioner
Genovese - Aye; Commissioner Blosser - Aye; Mayor Horton - Aye;
Vice Mayor Storm - Aye; Commissioner Bauer - Aye.
