Summary
Tiffany Schamberger resigned from the school board with about 1½ years left on her term; council will solicit candidates and expects to submit a name by the December meeting. Council also approved a staff request to allow Dec. 26 as a holiday and canceled the second December meeting.
The mayor told the council that Tiffany Schamberger has resigned from the school board; Schamberger's term runs through 2027 and the mayor characterized the remaining period as roughly a year and a half. Council members said they have already received names and will consult with board members and the community over the coming weeks, with the goal of submitting a name for the unexpired term at the next council meeting in December.
Council also considered staff requests about holiday scheduling. Staff asked that employees be allowed Dec. 26 off when the calendar places Christmas on a Thursday and requested permission to close the office that day if staffing is insufficient; council approved the practice. Separately, council moved to cancel the second December meeting (Dec. 22) given the Christmas week schedule and the motion passed unanimously.
The transcript does not record individual votes by member; actions were recorded as unanimous. The council said the appointee would serve only for the remainder of Schamberger’s term and be eligible for reelection or appointment for a full term thereafter.
