Quinn was in the middle of his 4-year term but has served on the Commission before. A new commissioner is needed to complete the rest of his term. Quinn happily announced that he was moving to Tennessee where a daughter already resides and his family is relocating, he said. He was wished well by the other commissioners and given much appreciation for his work chairing the group as they delved into many large and complicated projects submitted for the community in the past years.
