Sedan council accepts Janice Fine’s resignation; Adam Clark named council president
Summary
At its Dec. 2 meeting the Sedan City Council accepted Janice Fine’s resignation as council president and appointed Adam Clark to the role. The mayor answered member questions about a traffic-stop video and a personal water-meter bill; no formal disciplinary actions were recorded.
Mayor Bryan Blankinship called the City of Sedan council to order at 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 2. The council unanimously approved the meeting agenda and minutes from the Nov. 18 meeting and approved payment of $54,417.76 in bills.
Council member Janice Fine asked who released video footage of a recent traffic stop and whether Mayor Bryan Blankinship had paid a water-meter bill tied to the mayor. According to the record, Mayor Blankinship said he has made payments and will continue until the balance is paid.
Effective immediately, Fine resigned as council president. The council voted to accept her resignation and then voted to appoint council member Adam Clark as the new council president; Clark accepted the nomination. Motions to accept the resignation and to appoint Clark were moved and seconded on the record (Kathy Miller moved both actions; Angela Evans seconded both motions). The meeting minutes record those motions as carried; a roll-call tally was not provided in the transcript.
The meeting record shows council business continued with staff and council reports and without any formal disciplinary findings tied to the video or water-meter matter. The meeting resumed from two brief executive sessions on personnel matters with no decisions announced publicly.
