Page council appoints Mike Farrell as vice mayor

Steven Kidman, newly sworn as Page’s mayor, moved that the council "appoint Mike Farrell to the position of vice mayor for the term ending November 2026." Tom Prowler seconded the motion and the council held a voice vote. Mayor Dyack said he would recuse himself from the vote. The clerk called for a voice vote and the result was recorded as unanimous among voting members present.

The motion was introduced during the council’s organizational meeting after the oath of office for newly elected members. Kidman presented the appointment as a standard organizational action; council discussion before the vote was brief and limited to confirming the nomination and announcing the recusal.

Mayor Dyack said, "I'm good with it, but I ... have to recuse myself from this vote," and did not participate in the roll-call responses. The clerk recorded attendees before the motion: Mayor Steven Kidman and councilors Amanda Hammond, Tom Prowler (appears in the oath as Prowler; the roll-call lines contain variant spellings), Kenneth Heatinger, David Auggie/Auggie, Mike Farrow/Farrell (name spelled inconsistently in the transcript), and Debbie Rountree.

The council did not record a roll-call tally in the motion text; the meeting transcript records the outcome as the council calling the vote and saying "Vote is unanimous." The mayor’s recusal was noted on the record.

The council closed by noting its next regular meeting date and training for newly elected members; the meeting adjourned shortly after the appointment.
