At it’s April 4th meeting, the Talkeetna Community Council Inc. board of directors filled a vacancy left by a resignation. Now, residency requirements mean it will have to do so again.
At its meeting, the current TCCI board voted to fill its vacant seat with Geri McCann, a former Talkeetna resident who said at the meeting that she owns property in the area and is moving back. As of now, however, board chair Whitney Wolff says McCann’s residency is clearly currently in Palmer, based on available public records. Records viewed by KTNA showed the same. TCCI’s bylaws require that members’ primary residences lie within the council boundaries.
As a result, Whitney Wolff says the seat has been vacated once again. The vacancy will be officially announced at the May meeting. Nominations will start at that meeting, and will last until the first Monday in June, when the board will once again choose a new member to serve until the October election.
