Ken Martin appointed to Warren County Commission District 3 after roll‑call vote

The Warren County Commission elected Ken Martin to fill the vacant District 3 seat during the meeting. After nominations from the commission (Stacy Hart and Ken Martin) and a brief presentation from each nominee, the commission closed nominations and proceeded to roll‑call voting. The tally reported in the meeting was 12 affirmative votes and 6 passes, resulting in Martin’s appointment.

Commission procedures and rules for the appointment were read aloud by county counsel at the start of the item; the process required nominees to confirm willingness to serve and allowed public nominations (none were offered). Commissioners then voted by roll call according to the published procedure. Following his election, Martin was assigned to the Health & Welfare and County Corrections committees.

Speakers and named participants in this item were restricted to the nominee statements and recorded roll‑call. The commission recorded no further conditions on the appointment.
