Summary

A nomination to replace a Board of Adjustment member failed on a split vote; the Board then voted to remove the incumbent from active membership and designate him an alternate.

A motion to nominate Jeff Koll to the Board of Adjustments to replace Gary Veprovsky failed on Feb. 17, 2026, after a split roll-call vote. Commissioner Russ Karpisek moved to nominate Koll, seconded by Commissioner Brian Pribyl; the recorded vote was Karpisek yes, Pribyl yes, Ray Rohrig no and Chair Stephanie A. Krivohlavek no, with Commissioner Phil Hardenburger absent, resulting in the motion’s failure.

Immediately after, Commissioner Karpisek moved to remove Gary Veprovsky as an active member of the Board of Adjustments and designate him as an alternate; Commissioner Pribyl seconded. The subsequent recorded vote showed the four present commissioners voting aye and Hardenburger absent, and the motion carried.

The minutes do not record statements from Koll or Veprovsky explaining the circumstances of the nomination or removal, nor do they list reasons given by commissioners for their votes. The actions were recorded in the official minutes with vote tallies.
