Council approves fair-board appointments; swearing-in to occur at next meeting
Summary
Council accepted a slate of names submitted by the fair committee for the fair board; council clarified agenda language and said the appointees would be sworn in at the next meeting after the correct agenda item is posted.
Pocomoke City Council approved a slate of appointees to the fair board and instructed staff to swear them in at the next council meeting after clarifying the agenda language.
Council members said the agenda mistakenly listed "horse fair committee" when the action was to approve members of the Fair Board. The names presented as the fair board's nominations were: John Smith, Sarah Chapman, Stephanie Dubrell (appears in public comment as Stephanie Daprell), Dean Ennis and Alice Jean Ennis. The council asked for clarification of who the board's chairperson would be and said swearing-in would occur at the next meeting.
When members of the submitted slate attended the meeting expecting to be sworn in, the city clerk explained that the oath must appear on the published agenda to be administered at the meeting; the council approved appointments and arranged to swear appointees at a later meeting.
A member of the public, who identified herself as "Stephanie Daprell," said she had expected to be sworn in and asked for clarification. Council responded that approvals were made tonight and the swearing would take place at the next meeting.
Council recorded no roll-call votes in the transcript excerpt, but members indicated no objections and stated the swearing would be scheduled.
