Peck council holds public hearing on proposal to cut trustees from six to four
Summary
The Village of Peck opened and closed a public hearing on Feb. 19 about reducing the number of trustees from six to four; Mayor Pro-Tem David Tyler told the council he supports the reduction. No final ordinance or formal change was recorded during the meeting.
The Village of Peck council opened a public hearing at 6:31 p.m. on Feb. 19 to consider reducing the number of trustees from six to four, and closed the hearing at 6:35 p.m.
Mayor Pro-Tem David Tyler said he supports reducing the number of trustee seats. The council recorded motions to enter and to exit the public meeting; both motions carried with unanimous recorded votes by the five members present.
Why it matters: Changing the number of trustees would alter the village's governing body and could affect representation and how vacancies and quorums are handled. The transcript records the hearing and members' votes to hold and end the hearing but does not record any final ordinance, adoption language, or an effective date for a change to the village charter or code.
What happened at the meeting: Trustee Phronsie Warren moved to go into a public meeting regarding the reduction; Tyler seconded and the motion carried. After public discussion, Trustee Andrew Warren moved to leave the public hearing; Phronsie Warren seconded and the motion carried. The record shows support from multiple members but no formal adoption text or recorded ordinance number in the meeting minutes.
Next steps: The transcript does not indicate any subsequent vote to enact a change in the number of trustees or a timeline for further action. Any formal change would require ordinance language and an affirmative council vote at a future meeting.
