St. Bernard CIC sets 60-day window for elections; one open seat as senior members plan to run

The St. Bernard Committee Improvement Corporation announced at its April 23 meeting that it will hold elections next month and is allowing 60 days for candidates to come forward. The board said senior members are expected to run for reelection while one seat will be open after Meredith steps down to serve as an advisor.

Board members said officers for treasurer, secretary, vice president and president will be elected during that meeting. Members discussed the practical limits of turnover, noting term limits and difficulty recruiting volunteers can leave few alternatives when seats become vacant.

The board also discussed administrative matters including the treasurer’s report — a Fifth Third account with no current activity showing $3,362.60 and a primary Fifth Third account balance of $342,460.99 — and options for disposing of old filing cabinets and wooden desks from the bank building, including donation, a community sale, or scrapping.

The board invited anyone wishing to run to present at the next meeting on Tuesday, May 28 in council chambers.
