Council OKs Travers seat amid vacancy dispute
Town Council voted unanimously on Richard Alegria's motion to avoid a vacancy, with Travers and Vice-Chair Gablinske abstaining. George Cooper claimed the seat should be vacant due to Travers' paid town job as boys' summer playground director while serving on the council, asserting Charter Section 202 violation. Travers defended, citing council and board approvals, recreation board input, and Town Solicitor advice, mentioning grandfather clause 1404 as relevant.
