Warren County Commissioner Wayne Copeland is hoping to secure enough votes to rescind a resolution that was passed in February preventing appointees to five county boards from serving consecutive terms.The wording of the resolution does not prevent the appointee from serving again, but consecutive terms are not allowed.The measure affects the Industrial Development Board, the Board of Equalization, and three separate boards related to the airport – the Airport Zoning Committee, the Airport Commission, and the Airport Board of Zoning Appeals.Commissioner Dwight O’Neal presented the measure to the full Warren County Commission during its February meeting as a way to get some “new blood” involved in the community. He pointed out some people have been serving on the same boards for decades.The resolution passed 18-3 with Commissioners Wayne Copeland, Kenneth Rogers and Les Trotman voting against it. If the measure were to be rescinded, it would take it off the books as if it never happened.Copeland said, “I think it is a disservice to the county, especially with the Equalization Board.
