County names Tim Pierce to Housing Authority Board; council reviews liaison assignments

Delaware County Council on Jan. 22 appointed Tim Pierce to the Housing Authority Board and confirmed liaison assignments for the coming year.

Clerk materials listed Tim Pierce as the nominee; the packet identified him as CEO of Prime Trust Federal Credit Union. The clerk moved the appointment and councilmembers expressed support; a roll call vote approved the appointment. "He's the CEO of Prime Trust Federal Credit Union," the clerk said when introducing the nominee.

Council members reviewed a list of liaisons and committee assignments for the year, including Brad Bookout on housing authority and transportation matters and Dan Flanagan for highway department liaison duties. Members requested clarity on bylaws and formal membership for the joint communications board and Emergency Management Advisory Council (EMAC) representation.

Public comment: Christopher Bilberry asked whether Brad Bookout would continue holding a county contract while serving on the council (a potential conflict-of-interest question). The council asked Bilberry to call or email and indicated the matter would be handled off the record rather than resolved during the meeting.

The appointment and liaison list were handled as part of routine business; the council adjourned after closing remarks and scheduling the next meeting for Jan. 28.
