Vermilion County board appoints Terry Cottrell to District 2, swears him in
Summary
The Vermilion County Board approved the Republican Party’s recommendation to appoint Terry Cottrell as county board member for District 2 and administered the oath of office; the motion carried by voice vote.
The Vermilion County Board on the record approved the Republican central committee’s recommendation to appoint Terry Cottrell as county board member for District 2 and administered the oath of office.
Board leadership presented the party’s selection and asked for a motion to approve the appointment; the motion was made and carried by voice vote. An official then administered the oath, in which the appointee pledged to support the constitutions of the United States and the State of Illinois and to faithfully discharge the duties of the office.
The appointment was presented as an internal party recommendation to fill a vacancy. No formal roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript beyond the chair’s announcement that the motion carried and the board’s collective “ayes.” The board moved on to adopt the meeting agenda and other business after the swearing-in.
The newly sworn member took the oath on the floor; the board did not record any motions opposing the appointment during the segment. The meeting proceeded to agenda items including budget and resolutions following the ceremony.
