Board appoints Skyler Clout as Seligman constable
Summary
The Board of Supervisors unanimously appointed Skyler Clout to fill the Seligman constable vacancy; Donnie Owen and local supervisors expressed support and the board recessed briefly to perform the swearing‑in.
The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors unanimously appointed Skyler Clout May 20 to serve as the Seligman constable after Constable Richard Twist retired and moved out of the area.
Donnie Owen, presiding constable, told the board Skyler Clout was the only applicant for the vacancy and noted Clout’s relevant training and support from county constable leadership and the sheriff’s office. Supervisor Kukno and other board members expressed support for a local candidate with law‑enforcement training.
Supervisor Cook made the appointment motion; the board approved the appointment unanimously and recessed briefly so the appointee could be sworn in.
Why it matters: The appointment fills an elected office vacancy through board appointment procedures to ensure local law‑enforcement continuity in Seligman.
Next steps: Clout will serve until the next election or until the voters fill the position as required by statute.
