Wright County accepts Vernon Township trustee resignation and appoints replacement
Summary
The board received a resignation from Vernon Township trustee John Bridal and appointed Kent Telkie to fill the vacancy through Dec. 31, 2028.
The Wright County Board of Supervisors received the letter of resignation from Vernon Township trustee John Bridal and appointed Kent Telkie to fill the vacancy, with a term to expire Dec. 31, 2028.
The board voted to receive the resignation and then voted to appoint Telkie; minutes state the motions "motion carries" for both actions. No public comment was recorded on the appointment.
Why it matters: township trustees oversee local township business, and filling the vacancy restores the township's governance capacity until the end of the term.
The minutes do not record details about Bridal's resignation reason or any discussion of other candidates. The appointment was made by motion and second and recorded as carried in the meeting minutes.
