Retiring Washington Town Council member Nan Thomasson asked that Reinhardt Lynch be appointed to replace her, but the council wants to hear from the town’s residents before filling the vacancy.
Mrs. Thomasson, who has moved out of town, told the council that she has always felt that she represents the town’s business community, and that appointing Mr. Lynch would assure the continued representation of that segment of the town residents and merchants.
Town attorney Frank Reynolds suggested the meeting for public comment, noting that the county is using the same process in filling a vacancy on the Board of Supervisors.
The council agreed, and will use the same meeting to solicit nominees for the vacancy on the town’s Architectural Review Board, created by the resignation of Mrs. Thomasson’s husband, Jim.
The meeting will be held next Wednesday, March 22 at 8 p.m. The location is unsure since the courtroom may be in use for a trial, but if it is held elsewhere a sign will be posted on the courthouse door.
Mayor Dean Morehouse emphasized that suggestions for nominees to the two posts from the town’s residents are welcome, as are comments about the openings. Any resident who cannot attend the meeting may also submit their comments in writing, he added. Those comments should be given to any member of the council before the meeting.
Mayor Morehouse asked anyone interested in the two positions to attend the meeting on March 22, but added that attendance is not required to be considered for the positions.
Cable TV offered
George Pancner, who is building a cable television network in Madison, told the council that he would like to do the same in Washington.
