Christian County appoints two to Library Board; commissioners say appointments may cross township boundaries
Summary
The Christian County Commission appointed Echo Schneider and Koleman Parsley to two open seats on the Christian County Library Board of Trustees and stated it may appoint candidates from outside the affected township areas despite board bylaws.
The Christian County Commission appointed Echo Schneider and Koleman Parsley to the Christian County Library Board of Trustees at its June 11 meeting.
Staff reported two open positions — one for South County (townships: North Galloway, South Galloway, Saddlebrooke, North Linn & South Linn) and one for the Nixa Area (townships: Union Chapel, Northview, Rosedale and Garden Grove). The commission record states the South County seat’s prior member resigned because she no longer resides in the designated township area; the Nixa Area seat had an expired term. The Commission said it may appoint outside township boundaries despite the board bylaws. The four applicants were Ashley Popejoy, David Rice, Echo Schneider and Koleman Parsley; the Commission selected Echo Schneider for the Nixa Area seat and Koleman Parsley for the South County seat. Eastern Commissioner Bradley A. Jackson moved the appointments; Western Commissioner Johnny Williams seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.
The transcript does not include applicant residency details beyond the record that none of the applicants reside in the South County township area and does not provide term lengths or start dates for the appointees.
