Board appoints Karen Zeller to budget committee
Summary
The board appointed Karen Zeller to the district budget committee in a unanimous vote after members discussed her community involvement and experience.
The South Lane School Board appointed Karen Zeller to the district budget committee on May 5 after a motion and second during the meeting. Board members cited Zeller’s community service and local ties in explaining their votes.
A board member moved to appoint Karen Zeller; another member seconded the motion and the board voted to appoint her. A speaker said, "Karen's background stands here in good stead," and several members praised her community involvement and volunteering history.
Why it matters: the budget committee reviews draft budgets and helps the board prepare for adoption. The appointment fills an open committee seat ahead of scheduled budget hearings in late May and early June.
Details: Zeller introduced herself during the public comment period and said she has lived in the district since 1996, had volunteered extensively, and recently became eligible to serve after leaving a charter school position. The board scheduled budget work sessions with the first budget meeting set for May 21 and adoption targeted for June 2.
Ending: the appointment was approved in open session; the newly constituted budget committee will participate in upcoming budget meetings and hearings.
