The Vincennes City Council has approved, on final reading, an ordinance to change the designation of members of the Board of Works. The new ordinance allows the Mayor to choose Board members to join him on that city board. The previous language required the positions to be held by the City Attorney and City Engineer. The current members, along with Mayor Yochum, are Mark Hill and Steve Blinn.
Vincennes City Council president Brian Grove says the new ordinance clarifies the ability of the Mayor to select his desired members. Grove also says Hill and Blinn—both long-time members of the Board—are very qualified to hold those spots.
The ordinance change to the Board makeup was approved unanimously.
