The Allegany County Board of Legislators voted to appoint Charles Bissett as the District 3 legislator on March 26, 2025, approving a term through Dec. 31, 2025; Judge Brown administered the oath.
The Allegany County Board of Legislators on March 26, 2025, approved a resolution to appoint Charles Bissett to the District 3 seat, filling the position through Dec. 31, 2025.
The appointment (Resolution Intro 138-25) was offered by the Ways and Means Committee, moved by Legislator Root and seconded by Legislator Fenton. The board approved the resolution by voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally for this specific motion. Judge Brown administered the oath immediately after the resolution passed.
Why it matters: The appointment fills a vacant seat representing District 3 and allows Bissett to participate in board business for the remainder of the calendar year. The board's approval followed brief remarks welcoming the appointee.
During discussion, Legislator Gretchen Hatchett said, "I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome, Charlie Bissett to the legislators. He has quite an impressive resume, and I think he'll be a great addition to this board." Legislator Healy noted Bissett's veteran status and said he was "happy to have another veteran on the board." No amendments or conditions to the appointment were recorded.
The resolution states the appointment term runs from March 26, 2025, to and including Dec. 31, 2025. Bissett took the oath on the chamber floor and was recorded as seated in the meeting minutes.
