Council member Watts resigns; mayor says town charter does not allow appointing interim seat holder
Summary
Council member Watts announced she and her family are moving out of Gay and that she is resigning. Mayor Walker said the town attorney advised that the charter does not address appointing an interim council member and that he could not appoint a replacement.
Council member Watts told the council that May 11 would be her final meeting because she and her family are moving out of Gay; she stated she is resigning from the council. Colleagues thanked her service during the meeting record.
Mayor Christopher J. Walker said he had spoken to the town attorney about whether he could appoint an interim replacement before the next election and reported the attorney advised that the town charter does not address appointing an interim "seat holder," meaning the attorney said the mayor could not appoint anyone. The mayor said he would follow up with further questions to the attorney; the transcript does not record a formal appointment or a staff directive to fill the vacancy before November.
