WATERTOWN â Leonard G. Spaziani will have to wait until the next City Council meeting to know if he will be appointed to fill a vacant council seat.
Council members met with him in executive session for about 30 minutes before deciding to table the appointment until the April 19 council meeting.
âMr. Spaziani wasnât shy on his answers,â Mayor Jeffrey M. Smith said after the closed-door session. âWe know where he stands.â
Mr. Spaziani said he didnât pull any punches during the interview.
âI told them what I thought,â he said. âThe city needs help.â
Two weeks ago, he approached Councilwoman Lisa A. Ruggiero about filling the seat for the rest of the year after council members could not agree on appointing two other candidates who were interviewed for the position. He describes himself as âa no-nonsense guy.â
