A meeting of the Fayetteville City Council was held on November 4, 2003 at 6:00 p.m. in Room

Mayor Coody called the meeting to order.
Alderman Marr moved to suspend the rules and add the Nominating Committee Report to
the agenda. Alderman Jordan seconded. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously.
The Nominating Committee is recommending the appointment of James Graves to the Planning
Commission to fill an unexpired term ending 3/31/05.
A Copy of the report is attached.
Alderman Thiel: The policy has always been in the past to try to replace someone with a person
that has: basically the same philosophy, did the committee feel that Mr. Graves had the same
philosophy or close to it that Mr. Estes had?
Alderman Marr: We were asked to look for someone that had flexibility to attend sub -division
meetings, sub -committee meetings, agenda tours, agenda meetings and Planning Commission
meetings. We were asked for someone who would be a replacement with linear orlogical
thinking, was an advantage that the Commission was looking for, often found in attorneys. This
gentleman is an attorney and of the four alderman that conducted the interviews this candidate
was the first ranked candidate on all four ballots. We believe that he had a good understanding
of the role of a planning commissioner not to make law ordinances, but to administer ordinances
and philosophy we believe he aligned within the realm of where Mr. Estes would tend to vote.
Alderman Marr moved to approve the Nominating Committee report. Alderman Thiel
seconded. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously.
