Board adopts ordinance moving Frederick elections to November, changes swearing-in schedule
Summary
Trustees adopted Ordinance 14-18 to align the town's regular election with the statewide November general election and to change swearing-in dates to the second meeting in January; ordinance was approved 5–0 after staff explained term extensions and implementation timing.
Trustees voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 14-18, implementing a voter-approved change to the town’s regular election date to align with the statewide general election in even-numbered years and setting the swearing-in of newly elected officials for the second meeting of January.
Merk Reitz presented the ordinance and explained the change was approved by voters ("it was voted yes by 1,403 residents"). The measure will extend terms that would have expired in April 2028 to January 2029 and those due to expire in April 2030 to January 2031; staff and trustees discussed implications for budget approval timing and options to adjust internal processes so incoming officials have adequate transition time.
