ALTO, Ga. — The Alto Town Council will swear in three officials and make several key appointments during its regular January meeting Tuesday night at City Hall.
The council is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m., with a work session set for 6 p.m. An executive session is also on the agenda prior to the swearing-in ceremony.
Council members plan to swear in representatives for three council posts. John Smith is set to take the Post 1 seat after the town canceled its Nov. 4 municipal election when incumbent P.J. Huggins withdrew from the race, leaving Smith and other candidates unopposed. Huggins, a former mayor and current Post 1 councilmember, had been serving out the unexpired term of the late Carolyn McCabe.
Allen Fox will be sworn in to Post 3, and Debbie Turner will be sworn in to Post 5. Both were unopposed in the canceled election and will continue in office beginning Jan. 1.
Following the swearing-in, the council is expected to appoint a mayor pro tem, along with the town attorney and municipal court judge. Public comment will be held before adjournment.
