Summary

Board members thanked longtime volunteer Cuckoo Sa and discussed his upcoming departure at the end of the meeting; members noted his roughly one year of service since appointment last July and expressed appreciation but did not record a formal vote on resignation.

Board members praised fellow member Cuckoo Sa and discussed his forthcoming departure during the City of Des Moines Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting. Members noted Sa was appointed about a year ago and expressed appreciation for his volunteer service.

Board Chair Mel Pins introduced Cuckoo Sa when the chair reviewed membership and said Sa was appointed last July. The chair said Sa has "some new irons in the fire" and that the board wanted to wish him well for the commitment he has given. Several members offered thanks and well wishes on the record.

During the minutes and closing remarks, a board member informally noted a motion to deny Sa’s resignation; the transcript records Rhonda Sadia "making a motion to deny your resignation," but no formal second, vote tally or adopted motion is recorded in the meeting transcript. The exchange suggests members preferred to acknowledge Sa’s service and encouraged his continued involvement, but the transcript does not show a formal action to retain him on the board.

Sa was thanked for his service and the chair closed the meeting. The transcript contains no additional procedural directions regarding the resignation, appointment of a replacement or next steps.
