Contested JEDCO appointment: council votes 3–2 to seat Council Member McCroskey
Summary
After a failed motion to appoint multiple people to the Jasper Economic Development Corporation board, the council voted 3–2 to appoint Council Member Angel McCroskey to the JEDCO board following debate and a failed adjourn motion.
A dispute over appointments to the Jasper Economic Development Corporation (JEDCO) board dominated debate near the meeting's end. Council Member Bob Mayhar moved to appoint Angel McCroskey, Tom McClurg, LaShanna Johnson and Ross Horn to vacant JEDCO positions; the motion died for lack of a second. Mayhar then moved to adjourn; that motion failed 2–3. Council Member DeMarcus Holmes moved to appoint Council Member Angel McCroskey to the JEDCO Board of Directors; Mamie Horn seconded and the motion passed 3–2, with Horn, Holmes and McCroskey in favor and Hilderbrand and Mayhar opposed.
City Attorney Billy Morian reminded the council that, while they should follow the published agenda, the council has discretion to appoint and remove JEDCO board members at any time. The minutes record Mr. Tom McClurg spoke concerning JEDCO during the public-comment period earlier in the meeting.
