Shank submitted his resignation from Position 7 to Board Clerk Wendy Neill on Aug. 24, according to meeting minutes. The resolution was the only action at the three-minute special meeting, and the minutes record no dissent or public comment.
Shank's resignation reached the clerk the same day the board voted 6-0, with Shank voting yes, to appoint Kristen Armstrong to the seat left open by Laura Meyer Dick's resignation, a term that expires in January 2030. His exit returns the seven-member board to six sitting members.
