I make the following appointments to the Youth Commission. One vacancy remains which I hope will be filled within the next week. James S. Morita, 1221 Aspen Lane, Chairman Robert B,. Moore, 204 Willow Lane, Vice Chairman Mrs. G. W. Meyer, 235 Holly Lane, Secretary Dr. Roger W. Bardwell, Supt. of School District 59 The Rev. J. Ward Morrison, Pastor, Queen of the Rosary Church Walter A. Jones, 1220 Aspen Lane Father Morrison has made the excellent suggestion that the Clergical chair on the Commission be rotated annually among the Clergy of the Village. I request the concurrence of the Board in these appointments." It was moved by Trustee Young that the Board concur in the recommendation of the President in the appointments to the Youth Commission. I In answer to a question, the President said that the Village Juvenile Officer will be an ex-officio member of the Youth Commission; and that the former Commission recommended that one member of the Commission be from the Industrial Park and the President asked if the fact that such an appointee from the Industrial Park might I not be a Village resident would be a deterrent to favorable consideration for appointment to the Commission. i Trustee Dillon said that he felt a non-resident would not have sufficient interest to do a good job and he would prefer to have Committee members all Village residents, Trustee Keith objected to the appointment of Mr. Jones on the basis that he did not know him and would like to talk to him before the appointment. Trustee Smith said that perhaps the reservation the Trustees have concerning the appointments is that the Youth Commission does not report to a Trustee and he Iwould like to see a program set up and spurred into action by the Board. President Gibson then withdrew his appointment of Dr. Bardwell who would be dis- qualified if the Board wished all members to be Village residents; and also with- drew his appointment of Mr. Jones. ITrustee Young withdrew the above motion. IAt this point President Gibson requested the concurrence of the Board in his I appointment of Mr. Morita, Mr. Moore, Mrs. Pleyer, Father Morrison, and appointed Trustee Smith as ex-officio member of the Youth Commission. i I It was moved by Trustee Smith and seconded by Trustee Keith that the Board concur I in the President's appointment of Mr. James S.
