Council appoints 'Jerry' as pro tem mayor after voice vote
Summary
At a town council meeting, a motion to appoint 'Jerry' (first name only in transcript) as pro tempore mayor was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records multiple 'Aye' responses and one 'Nay,' but individual votes were not identified by name.
Unidentified Speaker 1 proposed appointing “Jerry” as pro tempore mayor and asked the council to make a formal motion and approval.
Unidentified Speaker 1 made the motion to "make Jerry the pro temp," and a second was voiced. Speaker 1 then called for "All in favor?" and several members replied "Aye," with one speaker explicitly saying "Aye. 4." A single "Nay" was also heard. Speaker 1 declared the motion passed.
The transcript does not supply Jerry’s full name or an official title beyond the pro tem designation, nor does it identify which council members cast each vote. The motion therefore is recorded as approved in the meeting record by a voice vote (transcript: multiple ayes and one nay).
The appointment will allow Jerry to preside and attend meetings on behalf of the mayor when the mayor is absent. The council also noted the pro tem typically fills in for the mayor at some meetings and represents the town when requested.
The council continued to other agenda items after the appointment and later adjourned. No further formal paperwork or effective date for Jerry’s pro tem duties was recorded in the transcript.
