The Abatement Appeals Board unanimously elected Commissioner Kevin Clinch as its new president and Commissioner Myrna Melgar as vice president during its April meeting.
The vote followed nominations and roll-call ballots after the Chair opened nominations for both posts. Commissioners cast unanimous votes to confirm Clinch as president and Melgar as vice president. The Board then administered the oath to parties giving testimony and clarified timing rules for new appeals: a seven-minute department presentation, three minutes for rebuttal, and three minutes for public comment for new appeals.
Board members said the procedural clarification was intended to keep hearings orderly and ensure appellants and staff have consistent time to present evidence. The meeting then proceeded to consider multiple abatement appeals and requests for rehearing.
The Board adjourned at 10:15 a.m. and reconvened as the Building Inspection Commission after a short recess.
