Board outlines options for filling council vacancy; county may appoint if board declines
Summary
Supervisor Bronner explained the Herkimer County Board of Elections would appoint a registered Republican to fill a two‑year unexpired term for Tony Grescheck if the town board does not appoint someone; an independent could only be a write‑in and must match the voting record name exactly.
A resident raised a question about John Valenta on the ballot. Supervisor Bronner said the Herkimer County Board of Elections would appoint a registered Republican to fill the two‑year unexpired term for Tony Grescheck if the town board declines to appoint a person. He added that an independent (Nick Jordan) could not be appointed and that a write‑in would require the exact voting‑record name, which he recorded as 'Romeyn Jordan.'
No appointment was made at the meeting; the supervisor explained the county appointment option and the constraints on appointing an independent candidate under county procedures.
