LaFluer fills a vacancy left by the June 22 resignation of Joe Faulkner.
LaFluer previously served as a trustee with a term ending in November 2020.
Also applying were Don King, Mark Voege, Bruce Harder, Chris Strayer and Crystal Adams.
Village manager Mark Honeysett said in the general law village act, there is no prescribed method for selecting a candidate, nor specific criteria for naming a person to village the seat.
Trustee Kenda Cartagena said LaFluer served successfully in his previous term, and is familiar with all the time and work we put in setting up our own sewer plant.
Village president Gary Mathers said LaFluer is “up to speed more. He attended closed sessions we had with engineers and lawyers.
Special the Journal
Constantine Village Council on April 5 discussed how to protect the village in a lawsuit filed by The Dude Abides, a medical/recreational marijuana provisioning center.
Village manager Mark Honeysett said the provisioning center seeks a preliminary injunction to effectively cancel a May 4 referendum election.
The referendum prohibits recreational marijuana sales in the village.
Named in the lawsuit are St. Joseph county clerk Lindsay Oswald, township clerk Ed Strobel and village clerk Cindy LaFluer.
The lawsuit does not seek any penalty or monetary compensation.
Honeysett said neither LaFluer nor the village should be named in a lawsuit, as they played no part in the referendum or election process.
