Fiscal Court adopts ordinance reducing sanitation board size and extends a member's term
Summary
On second reading the court adopted Ordinance 2025-07 to reduce the sanitation board from five to three members, terminate two vacant seats, and approved a one-year extension to David Parr's term to address staggered expirations.
Marshall County Fiscal Court voted Sept. 2 to adopt Ordinance 2025-07 (second reading), changing the sanitation board’s composition from five directors to three and addressing term staggering created by recent resignations.
At the second reading, Mr. Pagel said Ordinance 2025-07 would amend Ordinance 2017-14 to reduce the number of sanitation board directors from five to three and terminate the two seats that became vacant in 2025. Following a motion to approve and adopt the ordinance, the court voted by voice and the motion carried.
Following adoption, the court discussed staggering terms to avoid coincident expirations. The presiding official moved to extend David Parr’s term by one year to the expiration phrasing recorded verbatim in the transcript as "oneonetwentythirty." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The court did not detail administrative steps for implementing the term staggering beyond the extension vote. No fiscal or statutory citations were provided during the discussion; the ordinance and its predecessor were identified by ordinance numbers only.
