Board moves to nominate Tracy Donnelly to ethics board, subject to qualification checks
Summary
Trustees moved to nominate Tracy Donnelly to a vacant seat on the Board of Ethics but discussed potential conflicts and party-composition limits in code, moving the nomination forward 'subject to confirmation of proper qualifications.'
Trustee (unnamed on the record) moved to nominate Tracy Donnelly to fill a vacancy on the village Board of Ethics. Members and counsel discussed statutory limits on party composition — counsel read language limiting the board to no more than two members of the same political party — and whether the nominee's current service on another local board could create a conflict of interest.
The board voted on the motion "subject to proper qualifications" after a brief debate about the ethics code and potential conflicts; trustees agreed to perform due diligence before finalizing the appointment. No uncontested final appointment (without conditions) was announced at the July 22 meeting.
