Russ Crocker appointed to Ward 2 alderman seat in Cuba, Missouri
Summary
The City of Cuba council appointed Russ Crocker to the Ward 2 alderman seat and administered the oath of office. Council members also nominated a candidate for board president and announced committee assignments.
Alderman (Ward 2) announced the appointment of Russ Crocker to fill the Ward 2 alderman vacancy and moved to nominate him to the council.
The appointee, identified in the meeting as Russ Crocker, was sworn in under the municipal oath affirming support for the U.S. and state constitutions and the ordinances of the City of Cuba, Missouri. Multiple participants recited the oath language in succession.
The appointment followed a short description of Crocker’s background: the appointing alderman said Crocker has lived in the area for nearly 40 years and has worked locally in roles ranging from machinist and industrial electrical and maintenance to logging, retail and fast food. The alderman characterized Crocker as "involved in the community" and said those attributes made him "valuable" for the role.
After the oath, council members offered congratulations. During the same period of business, a council member nominated Russ Crawford for board president, and the presiding official announced committee assignments for council members, naming panels for animal control and police, electric, natural gas, parks and recreation, planning and zoning, tourism and public works.
The council also noted the city currently has a volunteer city attorney arrangement through May 30 and said members will consider a new contract for legal services going forward.
The council did not record a full roll-call vote in the transcript for the appointment; meeting audio shows vocal approval and celebratory remarks following the swearing-in.
