Atkins City Council unanimously appoints and swears in Jade Nutt to fill vacancy
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2026-07-01 to appoint Jade Nutt to a council vacancy effective through the November 2, 2027 general election; the vote was unanimous and the appointee took the oath of office at the meeting.
The Atkins City Council voted unanimously to appoint Jade Nutt to fill a city council vacancy that took effect June 10. The appointment was made by resolution (2026-07-01) and the appointee was sworn in during the meeting.
City Administrator (speaker 5) reviewed the process: the council published the required notice on July 1, afforded eligible electors the right to petition for a special election and received no petition. “Council did conduct interviews and workshop session… a terrific group of candidates emerged,” the administrator said, summarizing the recruitment and selection process.
A motion to approve Resolution 2026-07-01 naming Jade Nutt as the appointee was made, seconded and approved by roll call (unanimous). The mayor and city clerk administered the oath of office; the council welcomed the newly sworn member and noted the appointee will serve until the next general city election on November 2, 2027.
Next steps: the council formally recorded the appointment and moved on to subsequent agenda items.
