Summary of the LBCA Member Meeting 12/6/2022

On Tuesday, December 6, 2022, there was a member meeting which included an election for four positions on the Board, a discussion about two overarching priorities for the Association in 2023, and a brief financial summary. The following current Board members were reelected to a two-year term. Each will continue in their current position:

• Dennis Reardon - Vice President

• Janie Warren - Community Liaison

• Deb Mellor - Recorder

• Brian Hobbs - Board Member

The membership also agreed on two over-arching priorities for 2023, in addition to continuing to work on City proposals of importance to the membership. The first is to work on a proposal to enfranchise all who pay property taxes to the City, as is the case for most neighboring towns on the Delaware Coast. For a summary of the voting rules in six neighboring jurisdictions, click here.

The second is to develop a proposal to hold City staff accountable. For a work-in-progress list of examples where staff engaged in conduct that evidences disparate treatment of different communities in Lewes, disinterest in the legal or practical consequence of their work or proposals, or ignored Council member promises concerning notice and transparency, please click here.
