Kincaid trustees vote to vacate Jaeger's seat after residency discussion
Summary
Trustees determined, following discussion and counsel input, that a trustee's residency did not meet the village ordinance; Nelson moved to vacate Jaeger's trustee position and the board voted to vacate the seat.
Trustees discussed Trustee Kristie's residency during the special meeting and moved to vacate the seat after reviewing the ordinance and statute. Mayor Tony Pezze said Kristie could not attend and that residency needed to be established; trustees agreed the village would "follow the letter of the law."
When asked for statutory guidance, Alex summarized the governing rule: "The statute just says that if the Village board of trustees determines that the trustee is no longer a resident then they make that determination and then the office is vacated." Trustee Nelson moved to vacate Jaeger's position as trustee; Trustee Oller seconded and the motion carried with all ayes among those present. The minutes note ambiguity about the last paid water bill and that Kristie was not present to provide a statement.
