Kensington appoints Michael Schwotzer as interim Select Board member; he resigns Deputy Treasurer post
Summary
After a unanimous vote, the Select Board appointed Michael Schwotzer as interim Select Board member through the March 10 election; Schwotzer was sworn in and said he must resign as Deputy Treasurer because the positions are incompatible.
The Kensington Select Board voted unanimously on Jan. 26 to appoint Michael Schwotzer as an interim Select Board member to serve from Jan. 27 until the March 10 election, the Town Administrator said.
Robert Gustafson moved to appoint Schwotzer and Sara Hamilton seconded; the motion carried with all in favor. Immediately after the appointment, Schwotzer recited the oath of office before Town Clerk Sarah Wiggin and those in attendance.
Schwotzer told the board that because he had been sworn in as a select person he "has to resign [his] position as Deputy Treasurer," saying he would provide a resignation letter to Town Clerk Sarah Wiggin and complete necessary bank-related steps. The board and attendees also thanked outgoing Select Board member Robert Gustafson for his years of service; Gustafson said he would remain available if needed.
Next procedural steps: Schwotzer will serve as an interim member until the March 10 election; the transcript does not specify exact follow-up timing for processing the Deputy Treasurer resignation.
