Appointment to Williamson Ethics Board deferred after abstention
Summary
A motion to appoint Kevin Hurt to the City of Williamson Ethics Board did not result in an appointment after Councilmember Bob Harrison abstained due to a pending complaint; the item will return to a future meeting.
Council considered filling an Ethics Board vacancy on April 2. The city attorney informed the council that Kevin Hurt was willing to serve if appointed.
A motion to appoint Kevin Hurt was advanced by Councilmembers John Smithson and Carol Berry, but Councilmember Bob Harrison abstained from the vote because the ethics complaint involved him. The abstention meant no recorded affirmative vote was reached and, according to the minutes, no appointment occurred; the item will be addressed at a future meeting.
The minutes do not record a final tally of yes/no votes for the attempted appointment; they note only the abstention and that the matter will return for further action.
