David Bennett appointed and sworn in to Lumberport council at special meeting
Summary
The Lumberport council voted to appoint David Bennett to the vacant seat and the transcript records his swearing-in and notarization before adjournment on Nov. 20.
At the Nov. 20 special meeting, the council considered two applicants for the vacant seat—Clark Ellis and David Bennett—and moved to appoint David Bennett. Councilmember Richard Desist made the motion to accept David Bennett; Judy Cleavenger seconded, and the motion carried. The transcript does not include a recorded roll-call tally, only that the motion carried.
The transcript records that the mayor swore in David Bennett as the new council member and that Judy Cleavenger witnessed the oath; the record also states that Leslie Cummings notarized the swearing. The meeting adjourned at 7:10 P.M. after a motion to adjourn by Thomas Exline, seconded by Judy Cleavenger.
Note: the meeting header lists "Mayor Lexie Mayfield," while the swearing-in line records the mayor as "Lexie Chambers." The transcript does not clarify which is correct; the minutes show both spellings.
