Council appoints Scott Wymer as vice‑mayor until July
Summary
Following Vice‑Mayor Peg Harkness’ resignation, the council appointed Council member Scott Wymer as vice‑mayor to serve through July to ensure an official signatory is available for upcoming payables; the appointment passed 5–0.
The New Market Town Council appointed Council member Scott Wymer as vice‑mayor at its May 18 meeting after Vice‑Mayor Peg Harkness resigned. Jon Henry nominated Wymer and Janice Hannah seconded the nomination. Council members said they needed a deputy signatory for payables and to ensure continuity; town staff noted the appointment will run until the regularly scheduled selection in July.
The motion to appoint Wymer carried on a 5–0 roll‑call vote. Council discussed that the appointment could have waited until July, but staff indicated payables and dual signature needs made an immediate appointment preferable.
