Paoli council removes president and vice president, installs new leadership
Summary
Following complaints about unprofessional conduct, the council voted to remove President Theron Owen and Vice President Bobbie Bostock (3-0-2), appointed Danny Hickman as president (3-1-1) and later named Donna Dillard vice president (3-2).
The Paoli Town Council altered its leadership at a special session on April 23 after council member Donna Dillard raised concerns about recent unprofessional conduct by the council president and vice president.
Dillard moved to remove President Theron Owen and Vice President Bobbie Bostock; the motion passed with a 3-0-2 tally (three yes votes, two abstentions). The minutes record that Donna Dillard, Danny Hickman and Brian Shipman voted to remove the officers, while Theron Owen and Bobbie Bostock abstained.
The council then moved to appoint Danny Hickman as Town Council President; that motion passed 3-1-1 with Dillard, Hickman and Shipman voting yes, Bobbie Bostock voting no and Theron Owen abstaining. A later motion to appoint Brian Shipman as vice president failed for lack of a second after he declined the appointment. Another attempt to appoint Bobbie Bostock as vice president failed 2-3. Finally the council appointed Donna Dillard as Vice President by a 3-2 vote, with Dillard, Hickman and Shipman voting yes.
The minutes do not include the specific instances underlying Dillard’s statement about unprofessional conduct. The council adjourned at 1:50 P.M. after a public comment about a manhole cover on West Willowcreek Road.
