Luzerne County Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday to discuss and possibly take action related to the appointment of Councilman Stephen J. Urban as chairman of the county board of elections.
Councilwoman Linda McClosky Houck proposed resolutions that would declare vacant the election board seats held by Urban and the two board members who voted to appoint him chairman on Wednesday: Joyce Dombroski-Gebhardt and Keith Gould. All three are Republicans.
Board member Audrey Serniak, a Democrat, voted no on Urbanâs appointment.
Dombroski-Gebhardt and Gould âwillfullyâ violated sections of the county charter when they voted to make Urban chairman, which is grounds for their seats to be vacated, Houck alleges.
