CDC board honors founding member, welcomes staff and new board members; executive session yields no action
Summary
The board presented a certificate of appreciation to outgoing founding member Terry Brubaker, welcomed returning member David Ames and a new member, Sarah, and heard staff introductions; the board held an executive session and reported no action afterward.
Chair opened new business by recognizing Terry Brubaker, a founding CDC board member who resigned due to family health reasons; the chair said a certificate signed by Mayor Alan Perry will be mailed to Brubaker in appreciation for his service.
The chair announced returning board member David Ames and welcomed a new female member identified on the record as Sarah; both completed orientation with staff. The board also welcomed new CDC staff: Boxley said Sharonica Stewart transitioned from principal planner for historic neighborhoods to project manager with the CDC to manage recommendations from the Gullah Geechee Land and Cultural Preservation Task Force and heirs-property assistance. Later, a staff member who introduced herself on the record as Veronica Stewart thanked the board for the opportunity to serve.
During discussion members described connecting residents to CDC services such as no-cost site layout assistance and suggested creating a site-development matching fund to help property owners move from temporary trailers to permanent housing; staff noted financing is typically the biggest hurdle.
The board voted to enter executive session; after returning, the chair said the session contained a lot of information but produced no formal action. The meeting was then adjourned.
