Council appoints Gabrier Perez to fill two-year vacancy
Summary
The Long Prairie City Council unanimously appointed Gabrier Perez to a council vacancy during its Jan. 22 meeting; Perez addressed the council with his ideas after the vote.
The Long Prairie City Council unanimously approved the appointment of Gabrier Perez to fill the remaining two years of a vacant council seat.
Council member Clint Krueger moved to approve the application and Council member Lilah Gripne seconded. "After a motion was made to approve Perez, he then addressed the room with his ideas for the future," the minutes state. Perez told the council his views on future priorities for the city during his brief remarks.
The appointment followed a discussion of whether the council would interview applicants or appoint a member that night; the council chose to appoint Perez. No formal vote tally beyond "unanimously approved" was recorded in the meeting minutes. The appointment takes effect immediately, and Perez will serve the two-year term previously held by the current mayor.
