Stevenson sworn in as mayor pro tem; commissioners and clerks take oaths
Summary
Following the board's recess into an organizational meeting, newly reelected commissioners were sworn in, Lynn Trivette was sworn as town clerk and a deputy clerk was installed, and Jenny Stevenson was appointed mayor pro tem by unanimous vote.
Following the consent agenda, the board recessed its regular meeting to conduct an organizational meeting and install officers after the recent election.
Lynn Trivette administered oaths for newly elected commissioners and clerks. Jenny Stevenson took the oath of office as town commissioner and later accepted the board's appointment as mayor pro tem. Commissioners Carl Lambert and another commissioner also took oaths; Lynn Trivette and a deputy clerk were sworn in as clerk and deputy clerk.
After the installations, the board resumed the regular meeting and voted unanimously to confirm the mayor pro tem appointment. "It's an honor," Commissioner Jenny Stevenson said after her appointment and thanked colleagues and staff for their support.
Why it matters: Organizational meetings establish who will preside and perform statutory duties, and the mayor pro tem has authority to convene meetings and sign documents in the mayor's absence.
Next steps: The board will proceed with new-business items under the reconstituted board leadership.
