Board appoints Sherry Hudson Tharpe to Charlotte Courthouse District seat
Summary
The Charlotte County Board of Supervisors voted to fill the vacant Charlotte Courthouse District seat by appointing Sherry Hudson Tharpe; the board took the appointment by roll call and administered the customary welcome/swearing-in.
The Charlotte County Board of Supervisors appointed Sherry Hudson Tharpe to fill the vacant Charlotte Courthouse District seat during its April meeting.
The appointment came after a nomination from the floor; no second was required. The board closed nominations, and the clerk conducted a roll-call vote. Supervisors voting “aye” were Supervisor Smith, Supervisor Davis, Supervisor Shook, Chairman Bailey and Supervisor Tipt. Supervisor Carlaw voted “no.” With five votes in favor and one opposed, the board declared the motion carried and invited Tharpe to the dais to be sworn in.
The appointment fills the vacancy the board identified earlier in the meeting as the Charlotte Courthouse District seat. The swearing and presentation were conducted immediately after the certification of the vote and the board provided Tharpe with the board packet and orientation materials.
No ordinance, salary change or additional conditions were announced with the appointment during the meeting. The board did not discuss any personnel contract or compensation changes for the seat at the time of appointment.
The action was taken during open session following a closed-session nomination and certificate of closed-session compliance that preceded the vote.
