The Board, after conferring with Counsel, determined that it lacked a quorum to vote regarding a Disciplinary hearing because several members were not present at the June meeting. Based upon the foregoing, it was suggested to Ms. Wright that she meet with Staff to determine the amount of Administrative Costs for the complaints at 8531 Kingfisher Way and 2 Gilbert Circle; arrange for payment of these fees prior to the August 2013 meeting and possibly avoid a disciplinary hearing. |
