Parks Board appointment deferred after Selectboard member recuses
Summary
A Parks Board appointment was deferred because Selectboard member Leanne Alexander recused herself—her husband is an applicant—resulting in no quorum to vote; the board will address the appointment at the next meeting.
Selectboard member Leanne Alexander recused herself from voting on a Parks Board appointment because her husband is an applicant for the position. Because the recusal left the board without a quorum for that item, the appointment vote was deferred to the next meeting.
The minutes record the recusal and the decision to postpone the vote; no appointment or final action was taken at the May 4 meeting. The move preserves conflict-of-interest safeguards by removing an interested party from the vote.
