Council votes to retain president, elects Jason as vice president and discusses BCA appointment

The town council held a short meeting that opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and an invocation before conducting roll call and routine business. Council members opened and then closed a public hearing on 'election of officials,' voted to retain the sitting president and moved to elect Jason as vice president, discussed a likely appointment to the BCA, approved minutes from November and adjourned.

The session addressed a vacancy on the town's BCA. A council member said only one person had applied for the fifth seat—Jane Ryerson—and reported having discussed the appointment with 'Tammy.' Members noted the board could meet more frequently this year because of anticipated workload related to warehouses and other town matters; no formal appointment vote for the BCA seat is recorded in the transcript.

On leadership, a member moved to keep the current president in place and the motion was seconded; the chair declared the motion carried after a voice vote in which one member voiced opposition. Following that, a motion to make Jason vice president was made and seconded; the transcript records the motion, a second and a voice vote with an expressed opposition, and the chair indicated the action was concluded.

The council also moved to approve the minutes from the November meeting; the motion was seconded and passed with at least one vocal opposition recorded in the transcript. The last formal action was a motion to adjourn, seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript does not provide recorded vote tallies or the full names of members casting yeas or nays beyond the first names used during roll call.

The meeting covered routine procedural business. The transcript does not show any substantive debate over policy or ordinance language, nor does it record a formal vote to appoint Jane Ryerson to the BCA.
