ACTION: Appoint Ernie Hatchell to at -large vacancy
After the City Council made appointments to the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) on
February 26, the Mayor and Council received the attached letter of resignation from Yvonne
Houssels, who had been appointed as an at -large member from District 7. Following the original
appointment method, Council member Heffernan is proposing a replacement for this vacancy,
Ernie Hatchell.
Mr. Hatchell was one of the original applicants for GPAC, and he attended the first Committee
meeting on March 11. His application was filed on -line, and shows that he is over 65 years of
age, a homeowner, and active in non - profit, cultural and neighborhood organizations. His
application comment is, "I volunteer to serve the community. My broad experience in
government/military (30 yrs), industry (9 yrs), and volunteer community organizations (12 yrs)
provides, I believe, a useful set perspective and capabilities."

Dear Mayor Ridgeway, Council Members and Debbie Lektorich:
I appreciate your asking me to serve on the General Planning Advisory Committee
(GPAC).
Unfortunately; I have just learned that my mother is in poor health in Virginia. It appears
that I may need to spend time back east over the next few months.
Therefore, I must decline your invitation.
Sincerely,
Yvonne Houssels
