Title
A Resolution Appointing Two Members to the Interquest South Business Improvement District Board of Directors
Body
From:
Carl Schueler, Comprehensive Planning Manager, Land Use Review Division
Summary:
This is a request for interim appointment of two members of the Board of Directors (the "BOD") of the Interquest South Business Improvement District (the "BID"). It addresses a temporary vacation of the entire BOD resulting from the combination of property exclusions and inclusions being petitioned for in association with preceding agenda items.
