Mayor Rench criticizes board cohesion during Mapleton meeting
Summary
Mayor Liz Rench told trustees she believes the board has underperformed, saying committee meetings were not held and that only a few members handled most work; she urged more collaborative governance.
Mayor Liz Rench used her report at the March 12 Village of Mapleton board meeting to sharply criticize how the board has operated since taking office. She said trustees "did not have committee meetings to discuss things" and that "only a few were handling things instead of working together as a board," urging a more collaborative approach going forward.
The remarks followed routine committee reports and came before several operational agenda items, including a review of a maintenance building proposal and an audit acceptance vote. No formal responses or motions to address the mayor’s concerns were recorded during the meeting; board members did not put changes to meeting practices on the floor at that session.
