to submit a letter regarding the anticipated vacancy in the ZBA Chairperson's position. The Board held a
teleconference with Member Horning,asking whether Board Member(s)had an interest in filling the Chairperson's
position,which was expected to become effective about October 21, 2003. ZBA Member Orlando and Member
.Oliva both conveyed their interest. ZBA Members unanimously agreed, and Chairwoman Tortora was directed to
send a reply to the Town Board indicating that Members Orlando and Oliva were both interested and qualified for
the Chairmanship. It was also requested that the person to be appointed as Chairperson remain the same during
2004, without a change after having served for approximately 10 weeks in 2003. Any change in 2004 would be
disruptive to the operations and efficiency of the Department. The Board also requested that a letter be sent to
the Town Board confirming that the Board of Appeals gives full support with respect to the position held by
Member Horning, unanimously recommending Member Horning's reappointment for a five-year term on the ZBA.
