Supervisors appoint township trustees and approve abatements for city-acquired parcels

The Page County Board of Supervisors approved township trustee appointments and enacted abatements on city-acquired parcels during the meeting. The board voted to accept Brett Wellhausen to fill the Harland (Harlan) Township trustee vacancy, replacing Brian Brockman, and to appoint Andy Peterson to replace the Lincoln Township trustee Keith (last name variously recorded) — both appointments were approved by voice vote after motions and seconds.

Supervisors also approved tax abatements for properties taken by the City of Shenandoah at 312 East Washington, 319 East Washington and 108 Grant Avenue under a motion referencing Resolution 35-2025; the board approved an additional abatement under Resolution 36-2025 for 812 North Avenue in Essex. Each motion received a second and was approved by the board by unanimous voice vote.

County staff noted the abatements were for properties the cities had taken through their processes and that the county attorney had advised the board on associated tax responsibilities in prior communications. No further hearings or appeals were recorded during the meeting.
