Trevor Lantz sworn in as mayor pro tem; Amber McKinney sworn in as councilwoman, council assigns liaisons
Summary
Fletcher Town opened its meeting with two swearing‑ins — Trevor Lantz as mayor pro tem and Amber McKinney as councilwoman — then the council reviewed vacant liaison seats and agreed to confirm appointments next week.
Mayor called the meeting to order and opened with swearing‑in ceremonies for two recently selected officials. Amber McKinney took the oath of office as a councilwoman, and Trevor Lantz was recognized as the new mayor pro tem. The mayor and fellow council members offered congratulations to both newly seated officials.
The council next reviewed several liaison and alternate vacancies for town representation on intergovernmental bodies. Eric (staff member) and other council members said District 1 on a planning board will be vacant when James Brogan steps down in mid‑February; Districts 2 and 3 incumbents submitted applications to be reappointed. Council members discussed the process: applications are being accepted through Jan. 22 and council appointments will be made at the following regular meeting.
Council members also volunteered to fill or serve as alternates on outside bodies to ensure the town remains represented. Amber McKinney agreed to take one partnership seat; one member volunteered to serve as the Fletcher Fire & Rescue alternate; and the council confirmed there would be follow up at next week’s meeting to move the appointments formally.
The meeting’s administrative items closed with the mayor noting that the public‑facing appointment process is new and council will verify assignments at the next meeting.
