South Charleston City Council members introduced Carla Finch as a nominee to fill an opening on the city library board during Monday’s meeting.

Council members discussed the nomination after staff said a library board seat opened when “Miss Savo” resigned. A councilmember who introduced the nomination said Finch “works at Bridal Valley” and “seemed very excited about doing this for us.” The introducer also said Finch lives in the Split Rail area adjacent to the Ridges.

The council asked for a motion to appoint Finch to the library board and solicited a second. The meeting record shows the nomination was presented to council for consideration; no separate legal authority or ordinance was cited during the discussion.

The item was handled under the agenda section Petitions, Communications and Public Hearings. The council did not expand on Finch’s qualifications in the public record beyond the statements above.

Council members and staff said they would forward the nominee’s name for appointment as appropriate.
