Attorney advised the board to extend the application deadline for an open board seat after no timely applications were received; the board agreed to a new deadline of noon, Jan. 16, and to consider interviews and appointment at next week's meeting.
Attorney Gettle told the committee the district received no applications for a vacant board seat by the original Jan. 9 deadline and that one application arrived after the cutoff. In the interest of fairness, he recommended extending the application deadline to noon on Friday, Jan. 16, and the board agreed to post the extension on the district website.
Gettle explained that the district has a 30-day window to fill the seat and that, with the extended deadline, interviews could be scheduled and a vote to appoint could occur at next Wednesday’s board meeting. Board members said they were comfortable waiting to see if additional applicants applied and that the board could proceed with an interview and appointment if only one candidate applied.
