The president's line, from the minutes

2008–2026

The council presidency, as the minutes record carries it: Carolyn Higgins, elected president unanimously in 2008 and president in the minutes of April and August 2015, with Vojtko as vice president; then (Ken) Carter, president across the minutes of January 2016 to November 2017, Vojtko still vice president; then Marcy Kauffman, president by the minutes of July and August 2020, with Budreau as vice president and Samantha Rush a member; then Samantha Rush, elected president on 12 January 2021 by a 4–0 vote on Kauffman's nomination, Kauffman her vice president, and president through the minutes of December 2021; then Kauffman again, president from the minutes of May 2024 to the present roster. Two breaks in the line print whole rather than smoothed: Rush's exit after December 2021 is unexplained in the record read — no resignation or caucus appointment was found, and none is asserted; its settler is the 2022 municipal election record or the town minutes of January 2022 to January 2023. And the public-hearing minutes of 21 May 2024 name a "Vice-President Doll," with Colanese and Abbott present, Short absent, and Pemberton not named — no Doll stands on the current roster, and no resignation or appointment record explaining the change was found; its settler is the town minutes of January to September 2024 or the caucus appointment record.
