Village of Galena Council holds brief special meeting; mayor reads two emergency appointment measures
Summary
At a special meeting Aug. 6, 2024, Mayor Jeff Kinnell read two emergency first-readings to appoint municipal staff — a zoning inspector/property-maintenance/floodplain administrator and a village administrator/deputy zoning inspector — but no appointments were finalized; the meeting adjourned after a 6-0 voice vote.
The Village of Galena Council convened a special meeting on Aug. 6, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. in Council Chambers. Mayor Jeff Kinnell read two emergency first readings to fill administrative roles but the minutes do not record any final appointments or votes on those measures.
Mayor Jeff Kinnell read Resolution No. 2024-13, described in the minutes as a first (emergency) reading “to hire ________ as the Village of Galena zoning inspector, property maintenance official, and flood plain administrator for the balance of calendar year 2024,” and to set salary and compensation. The minutes record only that the resolution was read; it does not list a name for the prospective hire or show further action on that item.
Kinnell then read Ordinance No. 2024-10, noted as a first (emergency) reading to appoint “________ as the Village of Galena Village Administrator and Deputy Zoning Inspector for calendar year 2024,” including salary, compensation and duties. As with the resolution, the ordinance was read but the minutes do not record a vote or the appointment of a named individual.
The minutes state there was no executive session and no other business. Council member Chris Durrence moved to adjourn; Mike Fry seconded. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote, recorded as 6-0; the minutes do not record individual roll-call votes. The meeting was adjourned at 5:04 p.m.
A recording of the meeting is available upon request and on the Village website. The council’s next scheduled meeting is Aug. 26, 2024, at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers at Galena Village Hall and via Zoom.
