BoA gets new chair
Tuesday, October 20, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
Last week, the Board of Adjustment elected a new chair, again. Board members voted unanimously to elect William Burkhardt as their new chair. Melissa Hawthorne will stay on as vice chair of the board. Burkhardt formerly served on the Residential Design Compatibility Commission, which has been disbanded. Though Board Member Vincent Harding had been elected chair of the Board of Adjustment when the new regime took over, he opted to step down after his recent election as chairman of the Travis County Democratic Party. His last meeting was Oct. 12.
