The Fielding Town Council on Sept. 4 voted to adopt Resolution 10-02-25, canceling the town's municipal election because "the number of candidates does not exceed the number of open seats," a council member said during the meeting. The motion to approve the resolution was made and seconded; council members voted in favor and the motion carried.
The resolution was introduced during the council's public agenda items and presented as a routine action when no contested races were reported. A council member moved to approve the resolution and another council member seconded; the motion passed with members answering "aye," including Council member Kelly.
The council did not discuss amending the resolution at length during the meeting. The clerk will implement administrative steps required to remove the election from the ballot and to notify relevant election officials, the council indicated in brief procedural remarks.
The resolution applies only to the municipal election noted in the document and does not affect any other ongoing town business. The council moved on to other agenda items after the vote, including planning and public-comment matters.
