Brown Deer board approves timeline to appoint trustee to fill Renee Booker’s seat
Summary
The board approved a special appointment process to fill the vacancy left by Renee Booker: applications due May 25, materials compiled for the June 1 packet, interviews/Q&A June 1, and a potential swearing‑in June 15 if the board selects a candidate.
The Village of Brown Deer Board of Trustees approved a staff‑recommended process on May 4 to appoint a replacement trustee for the seat previously held by Renee Booker.
Under the approved plan, residents who wish to be considered will submit a resume, a letter of interest and responses to application questions; all materials are due May 25 at 11:59 p.m. Staff will assemble submitted materials for the June 1 board packet, and applicants may appear at the June 1 meeting for public Q&A. If the board selects a candidate by majority vote, the appointee’s first day would be June 15 with a swearing‑in ceremony.
Trustees asked procedural questions about whether relatives may serve simultaneously and whether a candidate could decline the board stipend. Staff replied there is nothing in village code explicitly prohibiting relatives from serving together and that a candidate could opt to waive the stipend.
The board voted unanimously to adopt the appointment timeline and process.
