Watertown council postpones an early appointment, later appoints Ken Demers to police commission
Summary
After briefly postponing an appointment to a future meeting, the Watertown Town Council appointed Ken Demers as an alternate member of the police commission to complete the term of John Gavales; the appointment passed with one abstention.
The Watertown Town Council first voted to postpone consideration of a council appointment until the next meeting, then later in the agenda moved to fill a separate vacancy on the police commission.
A council member moved “I move to appoint Ken Demers, 312 Oak Drive, as an alternate member of the police commission to fill the remaining term of John Gavales. The term will expire 01/31/2029,” and the motion was seconded. The council approved the appointment; the chair recorded one abstention and the motion passed.
The earlier, separate motion to postpone an appointment to the next meeting was made and carried during the meeting’s opening business. No additional details were recorded in the transcript about candidates for the postponed council appointment. The council did not attach conditions to the Ken Demers appointment in the recorded discussion.
The council’s clerk will reflect the change in the minutes and the commission roster.
