Mr. Guido announced that as he has been chairman for three years, he would like to nominate Steve Britton as his replacement. Mr. Britton advised the Board that as part of his job, he may need to be in court several times next year and maybe even into the following year. If the Board accepts this condition, he would be willing to serve as Chairman. There were no other nominations. JOSEPH GUIDO MADE A MOTION TO APPOINT STEVE BRITTON TO SERVE AS CHAIRMAN FOR 2003. KARL WICK SECONDED. ALL PRESENT VOTED IN FAVOR.
Mr. Guido stated that as this is his last meeting as Chairman, he would like to thank the Board members for serving. He said that he feels that this is a good Board because there is representation from all sectors and he liked that fact that the members didn’t always agree on everything. That showed that they were thinking along different lines and were representing a lot of other people by not all thinking the same way. Mr. Britton thanked the Board for his appointment.
