Commission approves five-member Land Bank Board with staggered initial terms

Pratt City Commission · July 21, 2025

Summary

The commission approved five trustees for the newly established Land Bank and assigned staggered initial terms (two 2-year, two 1-year, one 3-year) to implement the board's term structure. Commissioners discussed term assignments and procedural mechanics before a single motion to confirm all appointees.

Commissioner Hostetler explained that the ordinance establishing the Land Bank requires a five-member board and recommended trustees Brian Moore, Terry Williamson, Clay Holcomb, Gary Schmidt and Monty Hostetler. The commission discussed initial term staggering and agreed on an arrangement with Terry Williamson and Brian Moore for two-year terms, Gary Schmidt and Clay Holcomb for one-year terms, and Monty Hostetler for a three-year term.

The chair moved to approve the slate with those initial term assignments as a single motion; commissioners seconded and the motion carried by voice vote. Staff and the city attorney explained the staggering is intended so that reappointments will follow the board's term schedule moving forward.
