GENERAL MINUTES

Members Present: J. Heyer, B. Murphy, S. Jones

Public Present: S. Taylor, ZA

 

7:12PM             J. Heyer called the meeting to order. B. Murphy raised an issue regarding a prominently displayed letter to the Editor in the Fairfax Breeze.  The letter referenced a hearing that was closed to public input, but not yet decided upon.  The letter expressed the writer’s feelings on issues raised at the hearing, as previously reported in the Fairfax Breeze.  Members of the Board did read this letter and now wonder if this is ex-parte communication.

The question is whether a new hearing needs to be warned and held, or if the Board can proceed to deliberative.
