Sand Lake council removes former member from accounts and hires new treasurer
Summary
The Village of Sand Lake council voted to remove Nyha Merritt from all bank accounts, hired Tyler Kaiser as treasurer and added him to accounts. Motions passed unanimously among those present; one member was absent.
President Doerr called the Sand Lake Village Council to order May 19 and the council moved quickly on personnel and banking changes for village finances. Councilors voted to remove Nyha Merritt from all village bank accounts and to hire Tyler Kaiser as the village treasurer, then add Kaiser to the accounts.
The vote to remove Merritt was made by Councilmember Wright and supported by Councilmember Camilleri; the motion carried with six votes in favor and one member absent. Wright later moved to hire Tyler Kaiser as treasurer, a motion supported by Latham that carried by the same tally. The council then approved a separate motion, moved by Latham and supported by Camilleri, to add Kaiser to all village bank accounts.
The public record in this meeting does not include statements from Merritt explaining her removal from accounts; during a later public comment period Jorge Ballivian asked why Merritt resigned and was directed by Wright to raise that question with Merritt directly. The council did not record further discussion or a formal explanation on the floor about the reason for the change in bank signatories.
Council records show the motions were procedural actions taken in open session; the hiring vote and updates to account signatories were enacted at the May 19 meeting and will take effect as the bank processes them. No additional budgetary details or contract terms for the treasurer's position were provided in the meeting minutes.
The council adjourned at 7:21 p.m.; the next regular meeting is scheduled for June 16, 2025.
