I wanted to alert you of the strong feelings of all current colmmissioners that the vacancy should be illed as soon as possible, As you know,recent determinations concerning the necessity oFa disinterested quorum has caused problems when conflicts of interest arise. With only 6 members the difficulty is exacerbated. A further reason to proceed with a prompt appointment is the fact that the teens of 2 of our most experienced conunissioners will expire this summer and those commissioners are not eligible for reappointment- If the current vacancy is not filled until the normal summer changeover we will have a total of 3 new inexperienced commissioners commencing their terms at the same time. The transition would obviously be smoother if one commissioner could start work 3 or 4 months earlier. I thank you for your consideration- If I as chainnan can in any way assist you in your candidate evaluation do not hesitate to call on me. Sincerely yours, Philip S. Klatchko, Chairman Palm Springs Planning Commission 1 PSK/tah !
