Council rejects nominee for Board of Adjustment; seat remains vacant
Summary
Councilman Bridal nominated Mike Bouchard to the Board of Adjustment to fill a term through June 1, 2027; the council voted and the motion to appoint failed by a 5-3 vote, leaving the seat vacant.
A nomination to appoint Mike Bouchard to the Vinita Board of Adjustment failed on May 6, leaving the seat vacant.
Councilman Bridal presented the nomination, saying Mrs. Lucas had resigned the seat after being elected to the council and that citizens had requested participation. “This is a nomination that I have put forth... that’s Mr. Bouchard who is present,” Bridal said.
A motion to appoint Bouchard was made and seconded. The mayor conducted a roll call vote; the council clerk announced the result: the motion failed by a vote of five to three. The mayor announced, “That motion, to approve fails by a vote of five-three... Mr. Burchard will not be approved and that position will remain vacant at this time.”
The council did not discuss additional nominees during the meeting. Council members did not state on the record the reasons for their votes in the transcript; the chair indicated the item would remain open and the vacancy unfilled.
