Griggs County Commission appoints Lauren Ellison to vacant District 1 seat
Summary
Following competing motions, the commission appointed Lauren Ellison to the vacant District 1 commission seat by voice vote; one commissioner voted nay and another abstained.
The Griggs County Commission on Dec. 9 voted to fill a vacant District 1 seat, appointing Lauren Ellison after competing motions from commissioners. A motion to appoint Irene Helm failed for lack of a second; a subsequent motion to appoint Lauren Ellison was seconded and carried by voice vote. Commissioners recorded votes during the roll call: multiple ayes, one recorded nay and one abstention; the chair said "commissioner goes to Lauren Ellison" after the tally.
The appointment came after the chair said an earlier potential appointee had backed out days earlier and the district had expressed preference for a candidate. The chair said he would call Lauren Ellison to inform her of the appointment and take the necessary administrative steps to seat her.
The commission moved on to regular business after the appointment.
