Commission fills vacancies on housing boards with Aidan Leach
Summary
The commission accepted Valerie Miller's resignation and appointed Aidan Leach to the Lapeer Housing Commission, Lapeer Neighborhoods Inc., and the Lapeer Housing Board of Appeals with staggered term expirations; commissioners discussed his suitability and college status.
The commission received the resignation of Valerie Miller from the Lapeer Housing Commission and the Lapeer Housing Board of Appeals, then approved three mayoral appointments of Aidan Leach to the Lapeer Housing Commission (term to expire 08/01/2027), Lapeer Neighborhoods Inc. (term to expire 08/01/2028), and the Lapeer Housing Board of Appeals (term to expire 05/01/2027). The mayor said he had multiple conversations with the applicant and staff had also spoken positively about the candidate.
One commissioner asked whether the candidate understood that service on housing boards is not typically a stepping stone to politics and raised questions about age and full‑time residency. The mayor said staff and a retiring board member had given favorable feedback and that the candidate was a good fit. Each appointment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
