Oliver County weed board assigns three members to districts and opens recruitment for two seats
Summary
The Oliver County Weed Board voted to place Alicia in District 4, Dorothy in District 6 and Darren as a floating member in District 5, and agreed to advertise to fill either District 5 or 7. The motion passed after discussion of map boundaries and recruitment challenges.
The Oliver County Weed Board voted to reassign three board members to specific district seats and authorized advertising to fill an open seat. Speaker 3 moved to place Alicia in District 4, Dorothy in District 6 and Darren as a floating member assigned to District 5; the motion was seconded and carried (motion and vote recorded during the meeting).
Board members debated district boundaries and whether some seats remained vacant, noting challenges recruiting candidates for Districts 5 and 7. Several members said they would call around to encourage applicants and that the board is required to advertise open positions; one member estimated advertising costs “about $200 a week” (Speaker 1).
The board discussed options for when recruitment should resume and whether to pause advertising until February; some members recommended restarting outreach early in the spring. The reassignment motion also included direction to advertise for an additional member in either District 5 or 7. The motion passed without named vote tallies recorded in the transcript; the chair announced "Motion carried."
