Presidents, clerk-treasurers, council — through the gap years

The clerks' gap is solved and the presidents' gap is narrowed to two years, on a carrier weaker than the schedules and labelled as such. The framing pass left both lines broken at 2019: no audit schedule later than the 2015–2018 report had been reached, and none was reached either — the State Board of Accounts' report database would not load by the routes tried, and the indexed record still ends at the report pair filed 28 October 2019 (B53933, financial statements; B53934, its supplemental companion, read whole for the first time). The lines are instead completed from the State's Gateway salary record as carried by its republishing aggregator — the same carrier family the framing pass used for 2024–2025, below schedule and minute strength, its titles the town's own reported titles, loosely styled. On that record the clerk-treasurers run: the interim sequence of the later schedule to 31 December 2019; then Christine Rowe, 2020–2023, sole holder of the clerk-titled salary line in each of those years, styled "Treasurer Clerk" as the town styles the office in this record (the fuller form "Clerk-Treas" stands in the 2023 key data); then a transition year, 2024, in which both Christine Rowe and Jacqueline Skwiercz print as "Clerk"; then Skwiercz alone from 2025, at minute strength by 15 May 2025. The presidents run: April Hathaway to 31 December 2019 on both schedules; then two unsettled years (below); then Lori Kelly from 2022 — titled "President Council" in the salary record for 2022 and "President" for 2025, and president at minute strength from May 2025 through the reorganization of 5 January 2026. The council around them: 2020 and 2021, Kelly, Hathaway and Karen Iovino — the former interim clerk sitting as a member; 2023 through 2025, Kelly, Hathaway and Dean Rouch; the third seat of 2022 stands open on this carrier, Rouch carrying only a part-time-worker title that year and the year's roster printing ten of its fourteen names, so neither his membership nor Iovino's continuance is settled either way. What remains of the old gap is therefore exactly this: the presidency of 2020–2021, in which no reached record titles any of the three members president. The salary record's own title field is proven on this very line to under-report the presidency in some years — Kelly prints as plain "Council" and "Board" in 2023–2024, when the minutes show her presidency continuing — so the plain titles of 2020–2021 prove nothing in either direction; a single pointer exists, that Kelly drew $4,800 in both years against her colleagues' $4,700, the same figure as her titled-president pay of 2022, and a pay pointer is recorded here as a pointer, not a settlement. The conflict in the clerks' line, C6, stands but sharpens to a document count, printed whole: McQueen's whole term to 31 December 2019 stands in one document (B47048), whose schedule demonstrably prints prospective terms past its own 2011–2014 examination period; the interim-sequence version — McQueen to 4 November 2016, then Iovino (interim), Edel, Iovino (interim), Rynearson, Kelly (interim) — stands in two, both volumes of the 2015–2018 pair filed 28 October 2019, whose exit conference names "Lori Kelly, interim Clerk-Treasurer and Town Council member" in that month, exactly as the sequence implies. Neither printing is harmonized away; the settler remains a post-2018 schedule, owed by a live pass on the audit database. One caution is printed with the new clerk's name, and it is a caution against joining, not for it: a Christine Rowe also prints on Union Township's board in the township's audit schedule (19 March 2018 – 31 December 2019). The town's clerk of 2020–2023 and the township's board member are carried in two different units' records under one name; no record reached joins them, and this build asserts no identity either way.
