Rick, a county staff member, briefed commissioners that Ted Stein, who had been elected Sedgwick Township trustee, resigned effective July 17. Under customary practice, remaining township board members were asked to recommend a replacement; the township recommended Justin Stuckey, who previously served as trustee by appointment.

Commissioners discussed the process and confirmed that township officers normally identify a recommended replacement; commissioners noted timing concerns related to upcoming township budget activities. A motion to appoint Justin Stuckey to complete the Sedgwick Township trustee term was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.

Ending: County staff will send appointment letters and related notices to Mr. Stuckey and the township to formalize the appointment.
