The Avon Recall Committee this week filed a response requesting that district judge deny the town of Avon’s request to suspend the court’s order to hold recall election.
On Monday, June 28, the town of Avon filed its notice of appeal of District Judge Russell H. Granger’s decision, which ruled that the town had to host a recall election for Mayor Sarah Smith Hymes and Underwood. This appeal was filed after the Town Council voted 3-2 to appeal Granger’s decision.
The same day the appeal was filed, the town also filed a motion to stay, requesting that the court suspend any enforcement of the judge’s order to host a recall election. This would suspend any activity of enforcement of the order while the appeal is pending.

The Avon Town Council’s 3-2 vote to appeal a district judge’s order telling the town to proceed with a recall election for the mayor and another council member may shift in the coming weeks.
Council members Lindsay Hardy, Chico Thuon and Mayor Pro Tem Amy Phillips voted in favor of the appeal, while RJ Andrade and Scott Prince voted against the appeal. Hymes and Underwood did not participate in the meeting.
“It is not the town of Avon’s role to send this to an appeal as we have other important issues within our town that we should be dealing with,” said Prince at the open session
