Shabbona Village Board met June 1.
Here is the minutes provided by the Board:
Citizen’s Addressing the Board:
None
Election of Acting Village President:
Attorney Jess Harrill informed the board that the Acting Village President term is 11 months and that would need to have majority of trustees holding office (4 aye votes) to elect the Acting Village President.
Discussion: Frank Ottengheime said he believes Acting Village President should come from within existing board. John Rood said he does not have time to dedicate to the job with his regular job; John said he wants the best thing for village. Mark Cinnamon is not interested in being Acting Village President due to his lack of availability, Mark feels that the board owes it to the citizens to pick the best person to do the job and identified Don Goncher to be very qualified. Joe Perkins said he thinks it’s time to have someone neutral and currently separate from board. Jamie Deutsch feels position needs to look out for residents and community. Jamie is skeptical on time he’d be available in the position due to his full-time job.
Mark Cinnamon asked Don Goncher if he would like to say anything to the board. Don spoke about consistently attending Village Board Meetings and read a prepared statement about his qualifications and interest in the position.
