Board appoints health officer and assistant after candidate remarks; transcript shows name inconsistencies
Summary
A candidate introduced himself to the board; later the minutes-recorded motion named “Mr. Pennington” as health officer and “Mr. Lulek/Luek” as assistant. The board approved the appointments; the transcript contains inconsistent name spellings and the board agreed to follow up with administrative paperwork.
A candidate who introduced himself to the Selectboard as Dan Benson spoke about his experience and willingness to serve as health officer. Benson said he works part time locally and has experience with ordinance enforcement and public-health related follow-ups.
Later in the meeting the board moved to appoint a health officer and an assistant; the motion as recorded in the transcript named “Mr. Pennington” as health officer and “Mr. Luek/Lulek” as assistant, and the board voted in favor. The transcript contains inconsistent name spellings between the candidate who spoke and the names used in the motion. The board did not provide further on-the-record clarification during the meeting; staff indicated the formal appointment and administrative paperwork will follow.
The candidate described his local residency and prior work: “I currently work with you guys as a part time police officer here in town,” he said. The board voted to appoint the named individuals and thanked them; the record shows the motion carried.
