GENEVA – A candidate for two offices in the April 9 consolidated election is facing a challenge from the Geneva Library Board.

Jay Moffat filed nominating papers to serve on the library board and Geneva Park Board. Library attorney Roger Ritzman requested clarification from the county clerk’s office to see whether Moffat could legally serve on both.

“It came to my attention that there could be an issue about incompatibility of office,” Ritzman said. “To avoid any issues about the integrity of actions taken by the library board, I asked the Kane County clerk and Mr. Moffat to weigh in on the issue. The library district simply wishes to make certain it follows the election code.”
