And chair Leaveson. Here. We have a quorum.

We have a quorum. Alright. Thank you, George. So I hereby call call this, 04/15/2026 meeting of the town of Paradise Valley Board of Adjustment to order and welcome you all. I am Eric Liebsen, chair of the board, my final chair meeting, after serving my second two year term. Please silence phones. I don't know if that applies. Let's see. Should I go into the preamble here?

I don't think we need to.

Yeah. You can skip it.

We're going to skip. We have no cases. So I think we could skip straight to our action items. So the purpose of the meeting tonight is to elect a new chair. And I would like to well, I can open the floor to nominations.

Or if you like me to proceed, I I have one of my own. So I would like to place in nomination the name Hope Ozer. I believe she is extremely well qualified, a veteran of this board, she she she knows the system well. And I've had I have great respect for Hope. It's been great working with her, and she sort of mentored me through a few of these meetings. And therefore, I'd like to place Hope Ozer in nomination for the next, board chairperson. Is there is there a second?

Is Ken Barnes.

Okay. Is there any other nominations for additional candidates for the Chuckersson?

Quinn, this is Ken. As I recall, the last time that we elected the Board Chairman that you had an interest in it too. Is that does

that remain or not? Who is you?

No, can't. I don't have any interest right now. A third of a senior guy on the board. So I think it's your turn, whether it's this time or next time to go.

Right. Well, we have we have a a nomination and a second for Hope.

I'm sorry. Who is speaking? I don't I Yeah.

Can you can you announce yourselves? Because we can't don't know who's speaking.

You're not on the screen.

It was Ken Barnes asking Quinn whether or not he had any interest based on the last election to put his hat in the ring for Chairman and he expressed no interest this time.

Okay. Thank you.

All right. So far we have one nomination and a second. Before before we close the nominations, anybody else wish to nominate someone or nominate yourself? Or should we close the nominations? Last chance to speak up.

This is Quinn. Ken, do you have an interest in serving?

I'll continue on in my current role because Hope does such a fine job. We can tolerate her for two more years I think. Or do we do it annually now?

It's one time. The maximum term is two consecutive years, it's done on an annual basis.

Okay. I will defer at this moment. Thank you.

All right. Any further discussion before we go to a vote? Should we do a vote by, acclamation or roll call? Whichever you prefer. Okay. All those in favor of nominating or electing the new chair of the Board of Adjustment for the upcoming, one year term, Hope Ozer, signify by saying aye. Aye.

Aye.

Aye. Any

objections? Hearing none, congratulations, Hope. You are

Thank you, darling.

Duly elected. I believe it goes for ratification to the council. Correct.

Yeah. I'll go. So Excuse me. The May meeting, I think, fourteenth, I believe, for confirmation. Alright. So

well, I I would just say my farewell remarks. Thank you all for putting up with me. It's been an honor to serve and believe this is my I think I'm coming up on fifteen years on the board and two or four years as chair. So it's been good. I've enjoyed working with you all. I respect everybody and your participation. And thank you for allowing me the honor to serve. So that, I think, concludes our action items. Is there anything on the consent agenda?

Just approval of the last meeting minutes for January 7.

Alright. We're gonna we're gonna seek a a a vote for approval of the January. Is there any discussion, additions or revisions or somebody want to make a motion for approval?

Bill moved. Bill Patzis. I'll make a motion for approving the minutes subject to a couple minor items. One, I think the signatory needs to change.

Oh, okay.

Good catch.

The last page, I think you have Charisse on there. And then there's a reference to a March meeting. That was accurate at the time the meetings happened. But you could add, if you want that that meeting was canceled subsequent to the meeting.

Will do. Thank

you. And any other additions or corrections?

That's good tack on Charisse though. I missed that.

Would somebody like to make a motion for approval subject to the edits we just received?

I believe Bill made that motion. I'll second it.

Okay. Second by Hope. All those in favor of approval signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Aye.

Aye. This

is Jim. I just joined. I'm in favor of the approving the minutes.

Okay. Thanks, Jim. Were you here when we elected Hope?

He was not. He just

Oh, you just joined us. Is it correct to assume that you endorse you're in favor of our election of the new chairperson? I think that's a yes. He didn't hear me. All right. See you either. Alright. Is there staff reports?

There's, no staff reports.

No staff reports, public body reports, future agenda items.

So we don't have any items for the May meeting, so that will be canceled. But we do have one item scheduled for the June 3 meeting. And then after the June 3 meeting, the board will go on hiatus for July and August and reconvene back in September.

Okay. Did everybody get that? So between now and September, the only action the only future case is in June.

That's one item thus far.

Right. And that June 3, you said?

Correct.

Yes. All right. Before we adjourn, anybody have anything to add for the benefit of the board? Or we seek a motion for adjournment?

I just like to mention that I appreciate everyone's willingness to have our meeting tonight rather than last Monday in deference to it being the first night of Passover. I don't know about you, Eric, but we had a crowd here, and I probably would have been a whole lot less tired having a board meeting than Passover Seder at my house.

It's absolutely no problem for me. I'm happy to oblige.

Thank you very much. That's all I have.

All right. So with that,

is there

a second?

Is there

a motion We to have a motion to adjourn. Who made the motion for adjournment? Nobody. I'll make the motion to adjourn. Is there a second?

I'll make the second. This is Jim.

Jim, thank you. We have a motion and a second. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? All right. Well, we're officially adjourned. Thank you very much. Appreciate everybody's participation. I think we're good.

Good. In June.

See you

all in June.

Thank you, Mark. Thank you very much.

Thank you. Have a good

day. Thanks.

Thank you.
