Perry Bal appointed to Maxwell City Council to fill vacancy until March election certification
Summary
After three candidates briefly addressed the council, Maxwell appointed Perry Bal to the vacant council seat by roll call. The appointee will serve until the March special election is certified; the oath of office was scheduled at the end of the meeting.
Three residents — Derek Roy, Brandon Norton and Perry Bal — each gave brief statements of interest in the vacant council seat. Derek Roy described business and treasurer experience and emphasized public input; Brandon Norton noted construction and project management experience and interest in ongoing municipal projects; Perry Bal described prior experience working with municipal budgets and school and public‑sector finance and said he wanted to give back to the community.
Councilmembers discussed the immediate workload (budget season and committee assignments) and the requirement to fill the seat within 60 days. One councilmember noted Perry Bal had run in a recent election and received local votes. After discussion, the council voted by roll call to appoint Perry Bal to the vacant seat; the oath of office was to be administered immediately following the meeting.
Council encouraged the new appointee to participate in budget workshops before the certification of the March election so he can be prepared for the transition and related committee work.
