The finance committee voted on Nov. 20 to appoint Tyler Edgner to a vacant member‑at‑large seat.
Chair Ross Lally introduced the nomination, saying the vacancy followed a recent resignation and that the local Republican town committee nominated Tyler to fill the two‑year remainder of the term. Ashley Phelan moved to add an appointment item to the agenda and later moved the formal appointment. Melissa Whelan seconded the appointment motion. The committee approved the motion by voice vote of voting members present.
Tyler Edgner, who was present at the meeting, said, "I'm happy to be here and serve the community." Chair Lally welcomed him and said the committee will determine officer assignments at a future meeting.
The appointment was handled as an added agenda item under the meeting’s “other” business and is effective immediately for committee participation. The transcript records the motion, second and a voice vote by members present; a roll‑call tally with individual recorded votes was not included in the meeting record provided.
