Jefferson County board tables absent applicant until June meeting

The Jefferson County board voted to table consideration of an applicant after the applicant failed to appear and, according to the board attorney, the board could not proceed without the applicant. The board set the item for its next meeting in June.

The chair said the applicant was not present and that legal counsel had advised the board it could not move forward: "unfortunately um our applicant is not here and according to our attorney we can't have the meeting or can't have go over it and so we'll have to table this uh applicant." Fred Stillwell moved to table the matter and the motion was seconded; the board recorded the motion as carrying.

Votes at a glance: Approval of April 7 minutes — passed (yes: 4, no: 0). Motion to table absent applicant until the June meeting — passed (yes: 4, no: 0). Motion to adjourn — passed (yes: 4, no: 0).

The board did not record a named second for the table motion in the transcript. The chair said the applicant will be considered at the June meeting; no further scheduling details were provided in the record.
