William Neely sworn in to fill Fourth Ward seat on Boonton council
Summary
William Neely was appointed and sworn in as Boonton’s Fourth Ward council member after the council accepted a prior member’s resignation; the council praised the outgoing member and welcomed Neely at the meeting.
William Neely was sworn in as the Fourth Ward council member after the Boonton Mayor and Town Council voted to accept a prior member’s resignation and appoint him to the vacancy. The council approved the appointment by roll call and Neely recited the oath of office before the meeting.
The appointment followed the submission of three names to the town clerk by the county committee; Neely was nominated by a councilor and the council voted to appoint him. In taking the oath, Neely spoke the statutory words, beginning, “I, William Neely, do solemnly swear…,” before affirming to “perform all the duties of the office of Fourth Ward council member to the best of my ability.” The mayor and other council members congratulated him after the oath.
Council members used the swearing-in to thank the departing council member, Alexis Mincson, whose written resignation the council accepted earlier in the meeting. Members spoke favorably of her service and said they were looking forward to working with Neely. The appointment triggered routine updates to committee assignments and council rosters, and Neely said he looked forward to serving his ward.
The council proceeded with its regular agenda after the oath. No special conditions or contingencies on Neely’s appointment were recorded during the meeting.
