Mayor proposes committee to fill open council seat; town to post application instructions
Summary
Mayor Sam Maxson proposed a three-person committee (Mayor Maxson with Councilors Charlene Louk and Rick Lafferty) to handle replacement of an open council seat under West Virginia law; councilors were asked to submit candidate questions and the town will post application instructions online.
Mayor Sam Maxson told the council that West Virginia law assigns the governing body responsibility to fill an open council seat and suggested forming a selection committee composed of himself and Councilors Charlene Louk and Rick Lafferty to review candidates.
Mayor Maxson asked that all current council members submit questions for potential candidates and said the Town of Nutter Fort will post instructions on its website for residents interested in the vacancy. The minutes record this as a procedural direction; no formal vote to create the committee appears in the record.
