Summary
At its Dec. 9 meeting the Carolina Beach Town Council administered oaths to new officials (including a mayoral oath), confirmed Deb as mayor pro tem, and approved multiple board and liaison appointments including Jeff Hogan (Board of Adjustment) and Brad Jones (Planning & Zoning).
The Carolina Beach Town Council convened on Dec. 9 and swore in newly elected members and confirmed multiple committee and board appointments.
During the meeting the oath of office was administered, including the statement by a sworn official who identified in the oath as "Lim Barbie," taking the oath of office for mayor under the council-manager form of government and concluding the oath with "So help me God." Wayne Rouse was also sworn in as a council member.
Council adopted the meeting agenda and the consent agenda by voice vote. The mayor nominated Deb (referred to in discussion as Deb Lump) for mayor pro tem; the nomination was approved by voice vote. Council then announced a slate of appointments: Jeff Hogan was selected to fill a vacated seat on the Board of Adjustment; Brad Jones was selected to represent the community on Planning and Zoning; and the council selected Jack Moore, Mike Hoffer and Sarah Finn as citizen representatives to a newly formed Freeman Park committee.
Council members were assigned liaison and external roles. Among the assignments reported: Deb will serve as council liaison for Beautification and on the Carolina Beach/Kerry Beach Regional Sewer Authority; Vince will serve on Bike & Ped and join CBP3; Jay will continue as the council liaison for marketing and parks and recreation; the mayor indicated he will represent the town on the Tourism Development Authority and the Wilmington-area metropolitan planning organization (MPO) roles and named alternates for some external positions.
A motion to approve all appointments as read was made and approved by voice vote during the meeting; the transcript records no roll-call tally or numerical vote count. The mayor adjourned the meeting and invited attendees to an atrium reception to meet new council members.
No ordinances, contracts, or budget votes were taken during the session recorded in the transcript. The appointments and swearing-in were the primary formal actions recorded.
