Soda Springs council appoints Daniel Larson, reappoints Daniel Squires and swears in new members
Summary
The council unanimously appointed Daniel Larson to a vacant council seat, administered his oath, reappointed Dan Squires as director of city services and fire chief, and completed related procedural votes, including approval of January 7 minutes and adjournment.
The Soda Springs City Council moved through a brief slate of personnel actions during the special meeting. The mayor nominated Daniel Larson to fill a vacant city council seat; the nomination received a second, council members recorded affirmative voice votes and Larson was sworn in and signed his oath.
Shortly thereafter, council members held nominations for council president; after a voice vote Council president Hart remained in the position. The mayor then nominated Dan (Daniel) Squires for director of city services and reappointed him as fire chief. The council seconded and approved both nominations; Squires took the oath and the mayor publicly recognized his roughly 25 years of service to the city.
Council members also moved to approve the minutes from the Jan. 7 meeting; a council member made the motion to approve and dispense with reading, the motion was seconded and the minutes were approved unanimously. A final motion to dismiss the special meeting passed by voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.
Recorded vocal responses during the appointments included an "Aye" from Council president Hart when the mayor called for votes and additional affirmative responses from members in attendance. The meeting record in the transcript shows no dissenting votes on the nominations or minutes approval.
No new ordinances, contracts, or budget appropriations were adopted at the meeting; the personnel actions were the primary formal votes taken.
