LaSalle County panel approves James Reid to fill District 4 seat; swearing planned
Summary
The Committee on Appointments and Legislation and Rules voted to approve James Reid to fill the LaSalle County Board District 4 vacancy previously held by Beth Finley Smith and scheduled a swearing-in at the next meeting.
The Committee on Appointments and Legislation and Rules of LaSalle County voted Feb. 13 to approve James Reid to fill the county board vacancy for District 4, with the committee indicating it will perform a swearing-in at the start of the next meeting.
Committee members moved and seconded the appointment and carried the motion by voice vote. Committee members present signified approval with “aye” and no opposing votes were recorded during the roll call on the motion to approve Reid’s appointment.
The vacancy was described in committee discussion as the seat previously held by Beth Finley Smith. Committee members said they had interviewed a number of candidates and identified Reid as willing to fill the seat; the committee did not record salary, term start date beyond the plan to swear him in at the start of the next meeting, or any conditions attached to the appointment in the transcript.
No formal public comment related to the District 4 appointment was recorded during the committee’s discussion. The committee then moved on to other appointments on its agenda and later adjourned.
The committee’s action was procedural and limited to approving an appointment; the transcript does not state whether the county board as a whole must later ratify the appointment or whether Reid will serve the remainder of a specific unexpired term.
