Elections: Board Members Elected by Positions.
Pete Reagan suggested that each Board position be assigned a number so that when the elections
take place the pensioners would nominate one person to each position. When we receive the
nominations the pensioners would then vote for one person to fill each open position.
Sondra Smith stated that the Mayor and City Clerk do not need to be assigned positions because
they serve on the Board due to State law requirements. The State law states the Mayor must
serve as the Chairman of the Board and the City Clerk must serve as the Secretary of the Board
therefore it is not necessary to assign them positions.
Pete Reagan moved to assign position numbers to five positions, the highest ranking
member of the Fire Department and the four retired positions. Danny Farrar seconded the
motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 6-0. Mayor Coody was absent.
Sondra Smith asked how the positions will be assigned, which number to the current members
of the Board.
Pete Reagan suggested the two members of the Board that have terms ending this year be
assigned Position 1 and 2 and the two members that have terms ending next year be assigned
Position 3 and 4. The highest Ranking member of the Fire Department would then be assigned
Position 5.
Pete Reagan moved to assign the following position numbers: Position 1 Marion Doss,
Position 2 Pete Reagan, Position 3 Dennis Ledbetter, Position 4 Ronnie Wood and Position
5 Danny Farrar. Danny Farrar seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 6-0.
