Denton trustees reinstall Hobelman as chair and confirm 2025 appointments
Summary
At its Dec. 2 meeting the Denton Village Board elected Joe Hobelman chair for a two‑year term, swore in trustee Ryan Osborn, and approved a slate of 2025 appointments including a village attorney, street superintendent and water/sewer commissioner.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Denton elected Joe Hobelman chair for a two‑year term and finalized key 2025 appointments at its Dec. 2, 2024 meeting.
Trustee Ryan Osborn took the oath of office, the clerk served as chair pro tem for the election, and private‑ballot voting produced a 3‑2 vote in favor of Joe Hobelman. The board then approved appointments for 2025: Maureen Freeman‑Cady as village attorney; Justin Stark as Street Superintendent (Class A S‑1534); Ross Blackledge as Water/Sewer Commissioner; Amanda Fangmeier as Emergency Management Coordinator; Joe Hobelman as Floodplain Administrator; and Charlotte Te Brink to continue as Clerk‑Treasurer‑Zoning Administrator.
The appointments were made by motion of Trustee Doug Rosekrans and carried without recorded dissent. The board’s reorganization establishes the leadership and administrative contacts the village will rely on for the coming year, including legal counsel and staff assignments tied to infrastructure and zoning responsibilities.
The board's actions were procedural and preparatory rather than policy changes; no new ordinances or contracts were adopted as part of the reorganization. The clerk will maintain the official roster and contact information for the new appointees.
