Board finalizes committee rosters and citizen appointments
Summary
Following organizational votes, the board filled elected committees (Conservation Education, Infrastructure, Human Services) and selected citizen and at-large members; key appointments and vote tallies were announced during the meeting.
The Vernon County Board completed elections for its elected committees, naming supervisors and citizen members for two- and three-year terms.
The Conservation Education committee elected five supervisors and a citizen member; supervisors who received the top votes included Will Beitelik, Kevin Wallister, Bruce Kilmer, Dave Egan and Frank Easterday (vote tallies announced by the clerk). Carol Hall was elected as the citizen committee member by unanimous voice vote after nominations and a motion to cast a unanimous ballot. Infrastructure and human services committee seats were also filled after nominations and stump speeches from candidates who described relevant experience on land management, highways, landfill oversight and veterans services. In the human services elections, Strudoff and Champion won the two three-year seats, and a separate one-year seat was filled as announced.
Supervisors noted the complexity of committee eligibility rules (one elected committee per member, with Vernon Manor excluded) and the need for clear ballot instructions; several members asked clarifying questions about how service on one committee affects eligibility for another.
