PLYMOUTH — Room on a particular seat on the Marshall County Sewer District is getting scarce as the Marshall County Commissioners appointed Bill Woodward to fill a seat that is currently held by Tom McFadden on that board.
The seat in question is currently under legal dispute. In their meeting on June 3, the Commissioners passed a resolution stating that it was their opinion that members of the board served “at the will” of the body that appointed them, and then on June 16, declared the seat held by McFadden to be vacant.
The Sewer District Board rejected that declaration in their meeting on June 25.
In their meeting on Monday, Commissioner Jesse Bohannon urged action to meet a 45-day deadline for an appointment.
Bohannon went on to nominate Woodward for the seat with a unanimous vote, stating that the purpose was not to interrupt the normal operation of the board.
Commissioner Adam Faulstich raised a concern about security at the meeting, urging the board to give the Court Security Officer the ability to remove people from the next Sewer Board meeting if they were disorderly or non-compliant. Attorney Sean Surrisi and President of the Commissioners Stan Klotz stated that authority already was in place.
Faulstich went on to state his opinion of the situation.
