Cleveland council appoints Carl Sidra to fill vacant seat
Summary
The Cleveland Town Council appointed Carl Sidra to a vacant council seat on Oct. 9 and administered the oath of office. Members discussed board assignments and expectations for attendance at the rec board and regional meetings.
Carl Sidra was sworn in as a Cleveland Town Council member on Oct. 9 after the council voted to appoint him to fill a vacancy. Sidra introduced himself and repeated the oath of office: “I do solemnly swear that I will support… the constitution of The United States… and discharge the duties of Cleveland council.”
Council members discussed the responsibilities the new appointee will assume, including representation on the recreation board (which meets the second Monday of each month), attendance at emergency-management/COG meetings and participation in the special service district and EMS oversight. Planning and board assignments were flagged for follow-up, with staff to provide paperwork, keys and meeting schedules.
The council moved to appoint Sidra and asked him to take his seat at the dais immediately. The vote was taken by spoken affirmation; the transcript records members responding affirmatively. Sidra took the oath and assumed his seat at the meeting.
The meeting did not record detailed roll-call vote names in the transcript; the council proceeded directly to the next agenda items after the oath.
The council asked staff to finalize the appointee’s committee assignments and to ensure he receives contact information for the boards he will represent. No additional formal actions concerning the appointment were recorded during the meeting.
