General Application February 2005 Page 3 of 7 klm Date: May 11, 2005 To: Historic Preservation Commission.,.-) From: Eleanor M. Dilkes, City Attorney ~ Re: Resignation of Michael Maharry I have been asked for a legal opinion regarding Michael Maharry's status on the commission in light of the events at your April 28, 2005 meeting. It is my understanding Mr. Maharry recused himself from the commission at that meeting due to a conflict of interest, but remained at the meeting as a member of the public. During the course of the meeting, based on what appears to be a misunderstanding on the part of Mr. Maharry that he needed to resign from the commission in order to speak as a member of the public, Mr. Maharry stated for the record that he was resigning from the commission. I have listened to the tape of the relevant portion of the meeting in which Mr. Maharry spoke as a member of the public and stated his resignation from the commission. Mr. Maharry's oral resignation was clear and unequivicol. That being the case, and in the absence of any rules requiring that resignation from the commission be made in writing or accepted by the City Council, or any rule allowing for the withdrawal of a resignation, it is our determination that Mr. Maharry's resignation was effective immediately and he is no longer a member of the Historic Preservation Commission. Mr. Maharry could of course re-apply for appointment to the commission. I would like to clarify an issue related to Mr. Maharry's resignation. Mr. Maharry's belief that he needed to resign from the commission in order to speak as a member of the public after having recused himself was incorrect. In the absence of a bylaw or formally adopted rule providing otherwise, a member of a board or commission who has properly recused himself or herself based on a conflict of interest is free to remain at the meeting and speak as a member of the public. That is currently the case with the City Council. The Planning & Zoning Commission, on the other hand, has adopted a bylaw providing that the commission member may remain at the meeting but may not speak as a member of the pubic.
