Commissioners discuss two candidates for Board of County Appointments seat; decision deferred
Summary
The board reviewed resumes from incumbent Matt Ters and applicant Christopher Reester for a BCA seat and said they would talk to the unfamiliar applicant before deciding; no appointment vote occurred.
Commissioners said they had two resumes for one open or renewal seat on the Board of County Appointments: incumbent Matt Ters indicated he wishes to retain his seat, and Christopher Reester submitted a resume that commissioners had not had time to review in depth.
Because one candidate was unfamiliar to some members, the board discussed contacting Christopher Reester for more information before making an appointment. A commissioner noted that an incumbent must remain in position until someone officially replaces them, and the board agreed it would be sensible to speak with the unfamiliar applicant before acting.
No formal appointment or vote took place during the June 30 meeting; commissioners asked staff to follow up and to arrange conversations with the candidate so that a decision can be made in a subsequent meeting.
Why it matters: board appointments shape local advisory bodies and commissions; the board signaled a preference for due diligence before replacing an incumbent.
