Collins elected Scituate Town Council president; D'Agostino named vice president
Summary
Councilman Charles Lee Collins won the council presidency by a 6–1 roll call vote. The council also named Dave D'Agostino vice president and approved department liaison assignments.
Councilman Charles Lee Collins was elected president of the Scituate Town Council after a roll-call nomination and vote at the start of the meeting.
The council held nominations after the acting chair opened the floor; a motion was made to appoint Charles Lee Collins and another to nominate Theresa Yore. During a roll-call vote, six councilors voiced support for Collins and one vote went to Theresa Yore; the new president then took the gavel and opened nominations for vice president. Councilman Dave D'Agostino was nominated and confirmed by roll call, with all recorded votes cast in the affirmative.
President Collins announced department liaison assignments: Councilman McCormack for highways, Councilman Grandy for recreation, Councilman D'Agostino for the building inspector's office, Councilman Musot for senior center services, and Collins as liaison to the police department. The nominations for liaisons were moved, seconded and approved without further discussion.
The council then approved routine procedural business and moved on to other agenda items.
Votes and formal outcomes recorded at the meeting show Collins elected president by a 6–1 tally and D'Agostino confirmed unanimously as vice president.
A schedule for future committee work or adjustments to liaison assignments was not specified during the meeting.
