Council fills vacant seat, swears in Connie Capps
Summary
The Linn Valley mayor nominated Connie Capps to fill a vacant council seat; the council swore her in during the meeting and asked her to take her chair alongside other members.
The mayor presided over the meeting and nominated Connie Capps to fill a vacant seat on the Linn Valley City Council after the mayor announced Councilman Dan Dunham had resigned. "Connie Capps, I'd like to appoint you as a new city council," the mayor said, and council members then asked Capps to stand for the oath.
Connie Capps recited the oath of office in the meeting: "I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of the state of Kansas and faithfully discharge the duties of council member." Following the swearing, the mayor directed Capps to take the chair next to John Withers and Michael Hemphill. The council did not indicate any objection to the appointment during the meeting; no formal alternative candidate was presented.
