Summary
Mayor Scott Sessions nominated Daniel LaRue to the Hillsdale Library Board citing his financial experience; after lengthy discussion the council voted 3-5 against the appointment. The minutes record a corrected roll call confirming the 3-5 vote.
Mayor Scott Sessions presented Daniel LaRue for appointment to the Hillsdale Library Board on Jan. 5, citing LaRue’s financial experience and prior qualifications noted by the board.
Council debated the nomination at length; Councilman Matthew Bentley specifically asked the mayor about the rationale for placing LaRue’s name forward. After discussion, Councilman Bob Flynn moved to appoint Daniel LaRue and Councilman Gary Wolfram seconded the motion. The initial roll call recorded a tied outcome, but a subsequent review of the meeting recording led the clerk to correct the roll call and the minutes reflect a final 3-5 vote against the appointment.
The minutes do not detail reasons offered by dissenting council members beyond statements that the appointment was debated. With the motion defeated, the seat remains unfilled pending a future nomination or reconsideration by council.
