Council appoints Judith A. Cizek to civil service commission
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2526-234 appointing Judith A. Cizek to fill a civil service commission vacancy; the appointment required council majority because Cizek is not a city resident.
The Amsterdam Common Council voted to appoint Judith A. Cizek to the city’s civil service commission to fill a vacancy caused by a resignation. The resolution’s text noted that Cizek is not a resident of the city of Amsterdam but resides in the town of Amsterdam; under the city charter the appointment requires majority approval by the Common Council.
A council member spoke in support of Cizek, calling her “a wonderful person” who is “very kind” and “very intelligent,” and said she has been involved in city functions for many years. The council approved the appointment by roll call.
The resolution cites relevant city charter provisions (sections C-12 and C-14) and public officers law language regarding qualifications for public office. No discussion of term length, compensation or duties was recorded in the transcript.
