At a special June 19 meeting of the Van Buren Township Local Development Finance Authority, the six board members present elected the same officers for a one-year term ending June 19, 2013.
Officers are chairman Michael Dotson, vice chairman Charles Covington, and secretary Chris Hayes.
Present for the election of officers were Dotson, Covington, Hayes, David Tyler, J. Doug Peters, and VBT Supervisor Paul White.
Absent were Pam Smart, Leonard Armstrong, Craig Medlen, and James Ayer.
Under the LDFA bylaws, there needs to be one representative of Wayne County (Tyler), one representative of Wayne County Community College (Dotson), and two representatives from the Van Buren Public School District (Smart).
Smart left the school district last year and the district has not replaced her or named the second required representative.
Supervisor White said there are 11 members of the authority board, including him, and he appoints six at large members.
The June 12 regular meeting was cancelled for lack of a quorum. The June 19 special meeting was delayed 45 minutes in starting while waiting for another member to arrive so they would have a legal quorum to conduct business.
Meetings scheduled for March, April, and May were cancelled due to “lack of agenda.”
