Ocean Shores board reports three vacancies; June meeting canceled

At a May 14 meeting, members of an Ocean Shores board announced the resignation of board member Jeff Byerly and said the board currently has three open seats; the board’s June meeting was canceled because it would not have enough members to meet.

The departure was announced during the meeting by Speaker 1, a board member: "Well, Jeff Jeff resigned, so his last meeting would be today." Speaker 1 later told attendees, "next month, June meeting is canceled cause we will not have enough people."

Members discussed recruitment steps and outreach. Speaker 1 said the board had posted an opening on Facebook and asked others to "spread the word, we're looking for, looking for-" potential candidates. A participant identified as Jim was mentioned as someone who "wants to be on the board."

The board noted one member, Becky Cares, as excused from the meeting. No formal vote or motion to cancel the June meeting was recorded in the transcript; the cancellation was announced by board members during the meeting. No appointment or timeline for filling the vacancies was provided.
