New Selectboard member sworn in, board reorganizes
LEYDEN — Newly elected Selectboard member Erica Jensen was sworn in during a board meeting last week.
Jensen, who ran unopposed, was elected to complete a one-year term, filling a vacancy left by former member Lance Fritz, who resigned last summer. She received 140 votes in her favor out of the 170 ballots cast in the June 28 election, while 20 ballots had the Selectboard slot left blank.
Following her swearing in, the Selectboard reorganized. Member Jeffrey Neipp was appointed as chair, taking over from member Bill Glabach, who had held the role for the past year. Jensen was appointed as vice chair.
