Energy Board Meets For the First Time.

Mayor Jason McCoy and the Energy Improvement District Board have met for the first time.

The meeting took place last week and the six board members adopted rules and elected a chairman - Jeffrey Boulrice.

 “A group of six highly qualified and informed board members met for the first time to establish governing rules for their board and to choose a chairperson, both of which were carried out successfully and unanimously,” McCoy said. “It is my hope that this board will establish more efficient and reliable ways to improve the use of energy in our community.”
 
At the meeting, the board adopted a rule of electing a chairman every two months and also adopted Roberts Rules of Order as the board’s governing rules of order. The board’s next meeting is scheduled for the last Monday in March.
 
The Town of Vernon Energy Improvement District and Energy Improvement District Board were established with the passage of Ordinance No. 292 on March 16, 2010 and became effective on April 7, 2010. The six members were appointed to the board on December 21, 2010. According to the ordinance, McCoy will serve as an ex-officio member of the board.
