Committee tables TJ Templeton’s merit-board nomination pending legal review
Summary
A committee member raised a potential conflict of interest in the nomination of TJ Templeton to the LaSalle County Merit Board and the committee voted to table the appointment until the county attorney can be consulted.
The LaSalle County Committee on Appointments, Legislation and Rules voted July 6 to table the nomination of TJ Templeton to the LaSalle County Merit Board after a committee member asked whether the appointment could present a conflict of interest.
The resolution presented that TJ Templeton was recommended by the South County sheriff to fill a vacancy left by John Duncan and would serve through Dec. 31, 2028. During committee consideration, a member asked whether there could be a conflict of interest; that member said they had heard positive things about the nominee but wanted confirmation from the county attorney before voting. The member asked explicitly to table the item; the committee seconded and carried a roll-call motion to table the nomination until the county attorney could be consulted.
The chair recorded the item as tabled to a future meeting of the committee on appointments, legislation and rules. No determination on whether a conflict exists was made at the meeting.
