Council removes absent member from Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission; seat will remain open
Summary
Greenville County Council approved removal of an Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission member for nonattendance; county staff said the 12-member board will continue without the seat and the vacancy will be included on the September vacancy list.
Greenville County Council approved a motion to remove a member of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission for failing to attend meetings, and county staff said the seat will remain vacant until it is listed with other openings in the county’s scheduled vacancy report.
The chair introduced the item as a removal for nonattendance. County staff member Miss McCaskill told the council the commission is a 12-member board with two current vacancies — the absent member plus a seat vacated when a commissioner, Miss Poole, passed away — and that removing the absent commissioner would not create a quorum problem for the commission.
A council member moved to approve the removal. The motion was carried by voice vote; the chair declared, “The ayes have it.” The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or the removed commissioner’s name.
McCaskill told the council that the seat would simply remain empty and be included on the county’s next vacancy list in September. The transcript contains no further discussion of candidates or an immediate replacement process.
