Poulsbo council appoints Leighton Thomas to vacant Position No. 7
Summary
After a series of interviews, the Poulsbo City Council voted unanimously in a roll-call to appoint Leighton Thomas to Position No. 7; the appointment is effective July 8 and the swearing-in will occur at the next meeting.
After interviewing four candidates, the Poulsbo City Council returned to the dais and moved to make an appointment for the vacancy left by Gary McVay in Position No. 7. Councilmember Rick Eckert moved to appoint Leighton Thomas effective July 8; Councilmember Bridal Livdahl seconded the motion.
The council conducted a roll-call vote from left to right. The clerk recorded six "aye" votes (Livdahl, Eckert, Fitzpatrick, an entry recorded in the transcript as "Pro," Taber and Newell). Mayor Ed Stern announced the result and said the council had voted unanimously to appoint Leighton Thomas. The council then moved to adjourn.
Councilmember Rick Eckert moved the appointment and Councilmember Bridal Livdahl seconded. "We have a unanimous vote to appoint Leighton Thomas to the vacancy of position 7," Mayor Ed Stern announced after the roll-call. The oath of office and seating were scheduled for the council's workshop meeting on July 8.
Note on transcript inconsistencies: the motion language recorded earlier in the transcript included a misspelling of the appointee's name ("Blayton Thomas"); the roll-call list includes an entry recorded as "Pro" (the transcript text), which appears in the roll-call as read aloud. The mayor's announcement identifies the appointee as Leighton Thomas.
