Board members then proceeded to interview candidates for the two
vacancies on the VMICC board. Candidates present were Willem
Maas, Jim English, Jackie Pegues, William Hill, Jo Strom, and
Lorin Reinelt. Candidates Sally Fox and Anaiis Salles could not
be present due to pre-existing commitments but their
applications had been accepted. All candidates had submitted a
brief resume and letter of interest.

The candidates were given the opportunity to answer several
general questions such as how they have been involved in the
Community Council, how do they see their role as a board member
and how do they feel about the role of the LoneStar/Glacier
committee of the VMICC in the effort against the Glacier gravel
mine.

After discussion was completed, Board members then voted for 2
candidates by written ballot. Voting was as follows: Willem
Maas-6, Jim English-2, Sally Fox-3, Jackie Pegues-1, Jo Strom-1,
Lorin Reinelt-1, William Hill-0, Anaiis Salles-0.

Since neither Sally nor Jim got a majority, a run off was
conducted. Results were: Sally Fox-4, Jim English-3. The two
new board members selected are Sally Fox and Willem Maas,
subject to confirmation at the next general VMICC meeting.

After the balloting, board member Fred Hansen announced that he
resigned his position, effective immediately. VMICC board
President Jake Jacobovich will submit an announcement to the
Beachcomber to solicit applications and also encouraged the
current applicants to reapply for the new vacancy on the board.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:40pm.

Respectfully submitted,
Anne Woodward
