2008–2026 · THE MINUTES RECORD; THE EARLIER SPAN UNREACHED
The checklist wants a succession of profiles, first mayor to current holder; a town has presidents, and its profiles begin in 2008, because the minutes begin there online. Carolyn Higgins — elected president unanimously in 2008, and president in the minutes of April and August 2015, with Vojtko her vice president: the line's first reachable holder, at the strength of the minutes' word. Ken Carter — president across the minutes of January 2016 to November 2017, Vojtko still vice president. Marcy Kauffman — president by July and August 2020 (Budreau vice president, Samantha Rush a member), and president again from the minutes of May 2024 to the present roster, where she stands as president with a council term of 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2026 — the holder as of November 2026, the line's current end. Samantha Rush — elected president on 12 January 2021 by a 4–0 vote on Kauffman's nomination, Kauffman her vice president, president through the minutes of December 2021, presiding over the council that hired the town's marshal-department officer that March; her exit after December 2021 is unexplained in the record read. That is the succession the record carries at profile size — four names across eighteen years, each with the manner of taking office (unanimous election, the minutes' course, a recorded 4–0 vote) and the manner of leaving it, where the record says. What it is not is complete: the presidencies of 1866–2007 — the town's first hundred and forty years — stand in the minute books and the ordinance book, unworked by any pass, and they are the line's named gap, settler the books themselves, with the State Board of Accounts' schedules of officials as a partial instrument. No name is guessed for them; the gap is the article's close.
