(KLZA)-- Enough signatures have been verified by the Richardson County Clerk’s office to force a recall election of a member of the Rulo Village Board.
Quincey Lee Smith, Chairperson of the Village Board in Rulo is the target of the recall effort. The principal circulator of the recall petition is Kevin Barber.
The Rulo Village Board is to set a date for a recall election to be held not less than 30 nor more than 75 day after being notified.
The statement of reasons for the recall includes violation of the open meetings act. Running village equipment without proper training and breaking bid contracts.
In a statement of defense Smith sites his experience as an Army engineer as training to run equipment, denies violating the open meetings act and is not aware of bid contracts he violated.
In addition, in his response, Smith requested a full audit of all Village of Rulo records for the past five years, alleging a conflict of interest by Barber.
If the village board fails or refuses to order a recall election within the time required, the election may be ordered by the district court.
