O'Fallon parks board appoints Teresa as vice president, discusses vacancies and July schedule
Summary
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board appointed Teresa as vice president by unanimous voice vote, discussed two ward-specific vacancies (Wards 3 and 5) and decided to keep the regular July meeting on the calendar with a shortened agenda.
During new business on June 10, Chair Scott said the board had a vice president vacancy after Amanda's departure and opened nominations. Teresa volunteered for the role; the board called for the vote and approved her appointment by voice. Chair Scott announced, "You are now the vice president of the O'Fallon Park and Recreation Advisory Board."
Staff and members then discussed the timing for formal officer elections (potentially July) and reported two open board positions that leave Wards 3 and 5 unrepresented. Staff said they were coordinating with the mayor and the city clerk to recruit and, where appropriate, adjust ward placements to fill the seats. Board members suggested using social posts and the department's channels to advertise open positions.
Members debated whether to cancel the July meeting because it falls shortly after Heritage and Freedom Fest and because staff and volunteers will be busy with post-event work. After discussion, the board chose to keep the July meeting on the calendar but agreed to limit the agenda and let staff confirm details via email.
At the end of the session, Member Wilson moved to adjourn and Member Williams seconded; the board approved the adjournment and Chair Scott adjourned the meeting.
