Council appoints Andrew Smith to represent Ward 1; private oath to allow committee participation ahead of public swearing-in
Summary
Common Council chose Andrew Smith to fill the Ward 1 vacancy and confirmed he will take a private oath so he can begin committee work immediately; a public swearing-in is planned for July 7.
The Common Council voted to fill the Ward 1 vacancy created when former Council member Bob Polowsky stepped down in May. Council Member Lacerda moved the resolution (Law & Labor resolution ID noted in the minutes) and the motion carried by voice vote.
Nick Curiale, chair of the Summit Republican City Committee, thanked council for choosing among the three candidates his committee recommended. Council members praised Andrew Smith's local service and said Smith could be sworn in privately to begin committee work and attend the July 7 meeting for a public oath.
No roll-call tally was required for the voice vote; the council announced that Smith could begin participating in committees subject to the private oath. The public record shows the council intends to swear him in publicly at the next meeting.
