Summary

Because a statutory caucus was not held within the 30-day requirement, the Board of Commissioners appointed Matt Mert to the Green Township advisory board by unanimous vote.

The St. Joseph County Board of Commissioners on April 1 appointed Matt Mert to the Green Township advisory board after county staff said a required caucus under Indiana law was not held within the 30-day statutory timeframe.

County staff noted the auditor provided the statutory notice and that although a caucus had taken place, it did not meet the deadline and therefore the appointment fell to the board. A nomination was made from the floor for Matt Mert; the nomination was seconded and commissioners approved the appointment by recorded vote.

Commissioners Morton, Hazen and Maxmeier voted aye on the appointment.
