Council selects Lindy (Lenny) Hanley to fill vacant seat after interviews
Summary
After interviewing multiple applicants for the vacant City Council seat, councilors cast ballots and appointed Lindy (Lenny) Hanley by majority vote; swearing‑in to be scheduled at the next meeting.
The Sandy City Council interviewed several candidates on Oct. 21 for the vacancy created by a departing council member and then conducted a paper‑ballot vote. Each applicant had up to 20 minutes for questions from councilors on motivations, priorities and experience.
After the interview round, councilors completed confidential paper ballots; the votes were read aloud. Councilor Mayton voted for David (last name in transcript unclear), Council President Smallwood voted for Patrick Bernard, and Councilors Walker, Sheldon, Hokanson and Mayor Pulliam voted for Lindy (rendered in the transcript as both "Lindy" and "Lenny") Hanley. With four votes, Hanley received a majority and was declared appointed to fill council seat No. 5. Council discussed holding a formal swearing‑in at the next council meeting to allow family and guests to attend.
Next steps: staff will contact the appointee with onboarding steps and arrange a swearing‑in at the next scheduled meeting.
