Summary
President Pro Tem Kaczmarek announced the death of Village President Larry Buckingham and that Village Clerk Lenore Buckingham and Deputy Clerk Melissa Linkey resigned effective immediately; Trustee M. Geiermann volunteered as acting secretary for the meeting.
President Pro Tem Kaczmarek announced at the start of the Nov. 5 Village of Carleton council meeting that Village President Larry Buckingham has died; the council observed a moment of silence. Kaczmarek also said Village Clerk Lenore Buckingham and Deputy Village Clerk Melissa Linkey had resigned their positions effective immediately.
Trustee M. Geiermann volunteered to serve as acting secretary for the meeting minutes after the resignations were announced. The council proceeded with the agenda and routine business despite the personnel changes.
The meeting record does not state whether the resignations are temporary or permanent, nor does it list any interim appointment process or timeline for filling the clerk or deputy clerk positions. The council did not take formal action at the Nov. 5 meeting to appoint a permanent replacement; minutes note only the volunteer assignment for meeting minutes.
The council's next regular meeting is scheduled for Dec. 3, 2024.
