Summary
At its Jan. 7 meeting the Jefferson County Board of Legislators appointed and administered the oath to a successor for the District 7 seat; the appointee's name was not specified in the meeting transcript.
The Jefferson County Board of Legislators on Jan. 7 appointed and swore in a successor to represent District 7.
The board moved to appoint the successor during its first meeting of the year and completed the swearing-in during the session. The oath, administered by the chair, followed the standard language: “You do solemnly swear or affirm that you will support the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of the state of New York and that you will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Jefferson County Board of Legislators for district 7?” The appointee responded, “I do.”
The meeting record does not specify the appointee’s name. The board announced the swearing-in immediately after passing a motion to appoint a successor and then proceeded with the rest of the agenda.
No additional discussion or conditions attached to the appointment were recorded in the transcript. The board moved on to consider a local law and a set of resolutions after the oath.
The appointment was made during a meeting in which the board also approved a number of budget amendments and contract authorizations (see separate votes summary).
