Mayor Sherry Alcopello told the Lebanon City Council on May 27 that three members were reappointed to the city's Housing Board of Appeals for five-year terms beginning May 1, 2025.
"This board serves as an appeal mechanism for persons affected by property maintenance code," Alcopello said, explaining that appeals claim that the code's intent or legally adopted rules were incorrectly interpreted, that certain provisions do not apply, or that requirements are satisfied by other means.
Alcopello said Harriet Farrin has served since February 2007, Brad Longenecker since February 2001 and James Snell since February 2002. Fire Chief AJ Switzer was reappointed as an ex officio member. Council members asked how often the board meets; the mayor said hearings occur when someone files an appeal and noted there have been one or two hearings during her tenure.
No vote or objection is recorded in the provided transcript for these reappointments; the mayor presented the reappointments as a communication to council for the record.
