Parker council appoints Billy Brown to vacant seat, administers oath
Summary
After interviewing several applicants, the Parker City Council voted to appoint Billy Brown to fill a council vacancy and administered the oath of office at its July 1 meeting.
The Parker City Council voted July 1 to appoint Billy Brown to the vacant city council seat and administered the oath of office.
Council members said they had reviewed applications and heard brief presentations from several candidates before making the selection. Mayor Pro Tem Betty Pilgrim moved to appoint Brown to fill the vacancy left by Wendy Kershaw’s resignation; the motion was seconded by Council Member Halber and carried, as recorded by the council.
The appointment was followed by an oath of office at the council meeting. During his swearing-in, Brown repeated the oath, saying, “That I will faithfully execute the duties of the office of council member...and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and the laws of The United States and of this state.”
Council members thanked all applicants and encouraged them to remain involved in city boards and committees. No additional conditions or limitations on Brown’s appointment were recorded in the meeting minutes.
Procedural details: the council considered a formal resolution to make the appointment during the open meeting and recorded the vote as part of the official action. The council then proceeded with regular agenda items.
