Council continues search for Perry Fire Pension Board appointee after no candidates accepted
Summary
Council members reported contacting three potential candidates for the Perry Fire Pension Board but received no commitments; the council agreed to continue seeking volunteers and did not appoint a trustee at the meeting.
The City of Perry City Council discussed filling one vacancy on the Perry Fire Pension Board of Trustees on May 27 but did not appoint a candidate at the meeting after three potential candidates declined or were ineligible.
City staff and council members reported they contacted three people; one had a "Form 1" issue (a filing/eligibility matter) and two said they could not commit due to time constraints. Council members instructed staff to continue recruiting and to keep the vacancy on the agenda until a willing and eligible candidate is found.
The discussion clarified that the application process involves a multi-page form and separate administrative requirements; council members said they did not want to mix the pension-board appointment with other applications such as hospital grant requests. No motion to appoint a trustee was recorded in the transcript.
The council asked staff to continue outreach and return with qualified candidates at a future meeting. The transcript does not show a formal timeline for re-advertising or a deadline for filling the vacancy.
