Council approves voucher payments to Chamber of Commerce; councilmember recuses
Summary
Council approved accounts payable vouchers that included payments to the Greater Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce; Councilmember Marshall recused himself from the vote because he is the Chamber's executive director, and the vouchers passed with six votes and one abstention recorded.
Oak Harbor City Council on Feb. 17 approved accounts payable vouchers that included payments to the Greater Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce. Because Councilmember Marshall serves as the Chamber’s executive director, he disclosed the conflict and recused himself from the vote; council proceeded and recorded six yeses and one abstention on the tally.
Mayor Wright confirmed no public comments were received on the vouchers. Councilmember Marshall stated he would recuse himself to avoid a conflict of interest before the motion and vote.
Next steps: vouchers processed per usual finance procedures; council recording shows the recusal and approval.
