Summary

Following nominations that included Rob Kiefer, the Saint Albans City Council appointed Earl Whittington to the Ward 1 seat by a 6–5 vote; mayor and hosts welcomed Whittington but did not provide names of individual council voters or motion sponsors on the podcast.

The Saint Albans City Council filled its Ward 1 vacancy in a narrow 6–5 vote, appointing Earl Whittington after nominations that also included Rob Kiefer. Hosts and the mayor noted the close tally and welcomed Whittington to the council.

"We welcome Earl," Mayor Scott James said on the podcast after the hosts recapped the council action. The podcast did not identify who moved or seconded the motion, nor did it list how individual council members voted.

Anthony Romeo told listeners the appointment followed two council meetings of consideration and that the initial stage involved nominations, with the final vote occurring the most recent evening. The podcast provided no additional details about Whittington's stated priorities, term length or any conditions attached to the appointment.

Because the council vote was close, officials and residents interested in representation for Ward 1 may want to consult the official council minutes for the full record of the appointment and any debate that preceded the vote.
