Board Members: Vice Chairman James Regan, III and Clerk Robert Nelson were present along with Associate Members Marshall Brem, Zella Elizenberry and Richard Guerrera. Mr. Regan brought the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Reorganization of the Board The Board voted to re-appoint Edward Govoni as Chairman, James Regan, III as Vice Chairman and Robert Nelson as Secretary. Mr. Regan seconds the motion. All agree. So moved. Mr. Regan begins the meeting with addressing a letter sent in by Building Inspector • Russell Wheeler regarding Southport and an informational meeting that was held with Mr. Ron Bonvie and the ZBA on June 25, 2003.

Mr. Nelson informs Mr. • Larkin that the Board's Chairman, and two of the Associate Members stepped down from
