- During the September 2020 community meeting, a member of the Advisory Board introduced a motion for the Civic Association to resign and the motion was seconded by a member of the Civic Association. To be clear of the action, an Advisory Board asked for clarification about the motion and after all questions were addressed, the process proceeded. Of the 19 individuals attending the meeting, 8 voted. The result of the vote was 6-2 to resign. The president of the Civic Association did not vote.
- Both the Advisory Board President and Advisory Board Vice President attended the meeting, heard the discussion and vote. Neither the Advisory Board President or Advisory Board Vice President voted.
