Sellersburg Plan Commission swears in Councilman Mark Grub and re-elects Brad Amos as president

The Town of Sellersburg Plan Commission on March 16 voted to seat Councilman Mark Grub and re-elected its leadership, moving an item on the agenda so Grub could be sworn in before other business.

The commission approved a motion to reorder the agenda to make the swearing-in the third item. After the vote, Mark Grub was administered the oath and recited, "I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Indiana, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of member of the Sellersburg Plan Commission. So help me God." The chair said Grub must sign the oath document within 30 days.

Why it matters: seating a new commission member and choosing officers determines who leads planning discussions and hearings in Sellersburg. The commission also completed routine housekeeping: it approved the Feb. 17 minutes (one member said they would abstain because they were absent) and filled the president and vice presidencies.

A commissioner nominated Brad Amos "to return as the president," and the nomination was seconded and approved. Tom Mcuan was nominated and approved to remain vice president. Nancy Hughes was nominated and approved as second vice president; the second for that motion was recorded as Nancy McDibet. The meeting record shows the standard "all in favor" voice votes; no roll-call tallies by name were recorded in the transcript.

Legal counsel was asked for any reports and none were offered; commissioners noted a local facility (referred to as Waw Wa) is expected to open around April 1. With no further business, the commission voted to adjourn.

The commission did not record detailed roll-call vote counts in the transcript for the motions described; minutes may contain formal vote tallies and the signed oath once returned within 30 days.
