GLASGOW, Ky. – The Glasgow City Council finalized last month board appointments for the next several years. A new council was sworn in on Dec. 26.
Glasgow Mayor Harold Armstrong holds power to issue appointments, and the legislative body – the Glasgow City Council – fulfills or rejects those appointments.
Per ordinance 2019-2413, the Glasgow City Council’s composition was decreased from 12 to nine members. Those 12 members met for the last time on Dec. 14. No meeting was held on the scheduled Dec. 28 meeting.
Many boards, commissions and committees remain the same at the onset of the new council. The composition of the Glasgow Electric Plant Board remains the same as Marlin Witcher was reappointed last month; the Downtown Park Steering Committee, as members Chasity Lowery, Marna Kirkpatrick and Wendell Honeycutt were reappointed; the Finance Committee, as members Terry Bunnell, Wendell Honeycutt, Marna Kirkpatrick, Chasity Lowery and Marlin Witcher were reappointed.
