The resolution to name Jill Meaux as the new director of planning and development for the city of Dunkirk was tabled at Tuesday’s Common Council meeting to allow for the council members to inquire about a few other issues.

“I want to see if we can table this until I get a better handle on some of this stuff,” Third Ward Councilman James Stoyle stated. “I want to meet with you (Wednesday) or Friday about some situations.”

“We didn’t have time in our personnel committee to sit down and talk to you,” Councilman-at-large Paul VanDenVouver elaborated. “There’s a couple questions that have come up where the council wants to sit down, I don’t foresee any problems, but we’d just like to sit down and answer a couple of questions and get a little info on some things and we’ll bring it to the next Common Council meeting.”

Though the council didn’t go into detail about the questions, they insisted that nothing they want to ask is bad and that there is no gridlock.

Meaux was originally hired on in the city for the role of community development planner and was named interim director of planning and development in January following the departure of then director Rebecca Wurster.
