Council debates JEDCO board makeup, tables final appointments
Summary
Council members raised concerns about the Jasper Economic Development Corporation board, discussed bylaws and state rules, proposed leaving some seats open, and ultimately voted to table final removal and appointment decisions.
The Jasper City Council spent a significant portion of its June 9 workshop discussing membership and selection procedures for the Jasper Economic Development Corporation (JEDCO). Mayor Clark McLane led the discussion; council members expressed differing views on how the board should be reorganized and how new members should be selected.
A motion to leave current members Lequin Hilderbrand, Jenn Miranda and Ronald Sample in place and to retain four open seats while having the council select the remaining ten members (each council member choosing two) passed 3-1 with one abstention. After further discussion Council Member DeMarcus Holmes moved to amend his earlier motion and table the removal/appointment action; that amendment to table passed 4-1 (Council Member Bob Mayhar opposed). The minutes record ongoing concerns about bylaws and state rules but do not show final appointments being made.
