Parker council appoints and swears in Mark Grama to fill vacant seat
Summary
The Parker City Council voted to appoint Mark Grama to a council seat vacated by John Haney and administered the oath of office. The council passed the appointment by roll call during its second July meeting.
The Parker City Council voted to fill a council vacancy created by John Haney's resignation and swore in Mark Grama as the newest council member.
Councilmember (moved) nominated Grama and a second was recorded; the motion passed on roll call. Mayor Kelly congratulated the appointee on the dais, saying, "Congratulations, mister Grama." The new member then repeated the official oath and signed the oath paperwork before the meeting record was closed.
The council's discussion preceding the vote noted that the state requires elected officials who resign to file an "s f 1" and other paperwork with the governor's office; the clerk reported that the resignation forms were completed, creating the vacancy the council filled. One prospective applicant, Corinne Smith, withdrew her application before the meeting; another applicant was absent due to vacation, and one candidate called to say he was ill. The motion to appoint Grama carried by unanimous roll call as recorded by the clerk.
The council did not schedule further procedural steps for the seat beyond the administration of the oath; the appointee was seated immediately and will serve in the office as recorded in the meeting minutes.
