Trustees appoint a member to conservation commission; transcript shows name discrepancy
Summary
A candidate who introduced himself as George W. Manter ("Witt") described his conservation experience; trustees voted to appoint an individual named 'Whit Hunter' to the conservation commission — the transcript record shows the speaker who made the application (George W. Manter) and the name used in the appointment motion differ.
A candidate for the village conservation commission introduced himself to trustees and described past volunteer work and experience in conservation; trustees voted in favor of an appointment, but the record contains a name discrepancy.
The applicant said, “My full name is George w Manter. I go by my middle name of Witt,” and described ten years served on a conservation commission elsewhere and his availability to attend meetings.
During the meeting a trustee moved to appoint “Whit Hunter” to the conservation commission; the motion was seconded and carried. The transcript therefore records that the speaker who introduced himself as George W. Manter addressed the board and that the name used in the motion (“Whit Hunter”) is different from the applicant’s self-identification in the public record. The trustees approved the appointment at this meeting.
Because the transcript contains a discrepancy between the applicant who spoke and the name used in the motion, the article records both facts without resolving the mismatch; the village clerk or manager should confirm the exact appointment name in the official minutes or personnel roster.
