Linton pool board delays adding new member amid potential conflict with Reisher revitalization project
Summary
The Linton Pool Board tabled consideration of two nominees after members noted both were involved in the Reisher Revitalization Project and sought clarification on whether that creates a conflict, deferring the appointment until a city contact returns.
At a meeting at the Reesher Aquatic Center, the Linton Pool Board voted on Monday to table consideration of two candidates for the board after members raised a potential conflict of interest.
The chair said both nominees also serve on the Reisher Revitalization Project and asked staff to check with a city contact, Sam, who was on vacation. Board members discussed whether the pool board is an official city board or an advisory body, and how that status would affect conflict rules. Without Sam available to clarify, members agreed to delay action until next month.
The discussion focused on whether dual service would violate any local rules or ethical limits and on the practical difference between an advisory panel and a city board that oversees hiring and finances. The chair said the board carries hiring authority and handles pool finances, which members said feels distinct from the park advisory board.
The board did not vote on either nomination and will revisit the appointments after staff follows up with the city contact and reports back.
