Summary

The Town of McCandless swore in Jonathan Painter and Jacob Alford (also referred to as Jacob Alpers in the record) as police officers after council motions and voice votes. The judge administered the oaths; council members welcomed the officers.

The Town of McCandless swore in two new police officers during its regular meeting. After Chair (S2) introduced the oath administrator, Jonathan Painter was nominated, the motion was seconded, and the council approved the appointment by voice vote. Judge Bangle (S5) administered the oath to Painter, who repeated the oath and was welcomed by council.

Council then moved to appoint Jacob Alford. The motion and a second were recorded and the council approved the appointment by voice vote; the appointee repeated the oath administered by Judge Bangle. The transcript also refers to this appointee later as “Jacob Alpers.” The record does not resolve that name discrepancy.

The chair welcomed the newly sworn officers and thanked them for joining the department. No additional terms of appointment or pay specifics were discussed at the meeting.

The council took the appointments by voice vote and recorded that motions “carry”; no roll-call tallies were listed in the public record.
