             After determining that a deadlock existed and that both candidates were equally qualified, Director Smith moved that Director McLean flip a coin to the floor with Candidate Holmer calling the flip mid-air.  If Candidate Holmer’s call was correct, he would be appointed; if not, Candidate Wilder would be appointed.  Director Schaap seconded the motion.  Motion carried 4-0.  Director McLean did not vote because the departing director was ineligible to vote.  Director McLean flipped a coin to the floor and Candidate Holmer called “heads”.  District counsel Jeff Duplicki announced that the results of the coin flip was “tails”, which made Candidate Wilder the appointed Director.  Brief discussion ensued.
