Commissioners fill several advisory and zoning vacancies, debate ABC board gesture
Loading...
Summary
Vice Chair Ed O’Neil presented nominations to multiple boards; the commission approved appointments including Jay Todd, Jimmy Bennett and Erin McKenzie and reappointed Leon Butler and William Graves to the ABC board after brief debate about honoring a late chair with his wife's appointment.
At the April 6 meeting, the Scotland County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of appointments to local advisory and zoning boards.
Vice Chair Ed O’Neil moved to appoint Jay Todd and Jimmy Bennett to the Board of Equalization and Review and nominated Erin McKenzie to the Trillium Regional Advisory Board; the board approved those appointments by voice vote. Harold was nominated to fill a vacancy on the Wegrom Scotland County Zoning Board, and Jay Todd was also recommended to serve on the Laurinburg-Scotland County Zoning Board of Adjustment (commissioners noted an individual may serve on multiple boards).
For the ABC board, commissioners reappointed Leon Butler and William Graves to subsequent terms and voted to appoint Beatrice Sams to a vacancy. One commissioner suggested appointing the late chair’s wife (Miss Effie McGill) to finish his term as an honorary gesture; the board discussed qualifications and precedent but had already voted on the recommended appointments.
The board took each nomination separately and recorded votes; commissioners asked staff to follow up with recording and notification to the newly appointed members.
