Fenton board re-elects Gary Siebert chair, names Mike Mooney vice chair; George Phillips sworn in

The Fenton Board of Adjustment on Sept. 17 unanimously elected Gary Siebert as chair and Mike Mooney as vice chair and approved minutes from April 16, 2024. The board also administered the oath of office to George Phillips, who was sworn to a term ending in May 2029.

The organizational actions took place at the start of a meeting designated as a training and administrative review. A roll call recorded votes in favor of the chair and vice‑chair nominations: Member Rogers, Member Phillips, Member Siebert and Member Mooney each recorded an "Aye" for the chair election; similar recorded "Aye" votes followed for the vice chair nomination. The board then voted to approve the previously circulated minutes.

The swearing‑in ceremony for George Phillips included the oath language for members of the Board of Adjustment, referencing qualifications under state statute for cities of the fourth class and the City of Sutton ordinances. The board noted that alternate member Susan Phillips Pigg has agreed to serve and that her appointment will proceed to the Board of Aldermen for confirmation and future swearing in.

Procedurally, board members confirmed a quorum of four present for the meeting and recorded that alternate members Susan Phillips Pigg and Edkison attended the training. The board conducted a formal roll call for each organizational vote, consistent with the board's rules.

The meeting concluded after the training session with a motion to adjourn, which carried on a unanimous roll call, and the board was adjourned.

The board’s next administrative matters, including formal swearing of alternates and any future agenda items, were not specified during the meeting.
