Board accepts resignation, appoints Bruce Yerwood Sr. and approves county tax-exemption for village water parcel
Summary
Trustees accepted the resignation of Cory B. Roa from the Board of Ethics, appointed Bruce Yerwood Sr. to fill the vacancy effective Nov. 19, 2024, and adopted a resolution requesting the County of Orange exempt a 1.8-acre village water-system parcel from county taxes for FY2026.
The Village of Montgomery board moved to accept the resignation of Cory B. Roa from the Board of Ethics effective Nov. 4, 2024, then appointed Bruce Yerwood Sr. to the vacancy effective Nov. 19, 2024.
During the appointment discussion the chair said the ethics board "can now proceed with their business without any amendments to code," removing the immediate need to change the village law that would have required an employee be a member of the ethics board.
The board also adopted a routine resolution asking the County of Orange to exempt from county taxation a 1.8-acre parcel (SBL 28-1-63) used for the Village Water System for fiscal year 2026. The chair explained that municipalities commonly request such exemptions each year for property used for public water systems so the municipality is not charged county property taxes for that parcel.
Votes and procedure: motions for the resignation, appointment and the county-exemption resolution were made and seconded on the floor and the board voiced assent. The transcript does not include a roll-call vote or named tallies for the motions; the actions are recorded in the meeting minutes as approved by the board.
What happens next: Bruce Yerwood Sr. becomes an ethics-board member effective Nov. 19, 2024. The village will notify the county as part of the annual tax-exemption process for the water-system parcel.
