SUPERVISOR BRANDT-It has been represented that if Mr. Beaty resigns
on his elected term, that there is a committment that we appoint Mr.
Barton, is that essentially true?
BOND ROBERTSON, COUNCILMAN- I •think the Republican members of the
Board certainly represent that.
COUNCILMAN OLSON- you have to have a resignation before you can appoint.
SUPERVISOR BRANDT- but that is basically the committment that has been made.
HAMMOND ROBERTSON, COUNCILMAN- That is basically the committment that I have
made as one person.
COUNCILMAN WALTER- and myself,
COUNCILMAN OLSON- The committment was made that Bill Barton would fullfill
the unexpired term caused by the resignation of Harwodd Beaty until D8c.
31, 1977.
On motion the meeting was adjourned.
