8/7/14 - A spot on the Milford Village Council is vacant no more. Council met Monday and voted unanimously to appoint Dave Pehrson to fill the open seat. Heâs lived in Milford for a little more than seven years and volunteers at community events, including this weekendâs Milford Memories. Pehrsonâs resignation as an alternate on the Zoning Board of Appeals was required as a condition of his appointment, which Council voted to accept. Heâs been a member of the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters Local 687 for over 25 years and currently serves as the local president, bringing years of experience as a carpenter and knowledge of the construction industry as a whole to the table. When asked if he would be able to fulfill the time commitment associated with serving on Council, Pearson said that he would - adding heâs comfortable working with people since his other role as a business representative with the union requires interacting with individuals and problem solving on a daily basis. Pehrsonâs appointment is effective until November and he has plans to run for election at that time. Facebook Photo. (JM)
