Board will leave trustee seat vacant until spring election
Summary
Trustees voted to delay filling the village trustee vacancy until the spring election so voters can select the next trustee rather than the board appointing a replacement.
Following the appointment of an interim village president, Trustees discussed how to fill the remaining trustee vacancy. One Trustee argued the board should not appoint a replacement and that "we wait until the spring election and have somebody elected at that time," so village residents can choose the next trustee.
Other Trustees agreed with that approach. A motion was made and seconded to defer filling the vacancy until the spring election; the chair called for the vote and the motion carried. The decision preserves the community's ability to elect the replacement rather than accepting a board appointment.
The motion came under agenda discussion titled 'process to fill the village trustee vacancy' and the board recorded no opposing votes in the transcript.
