Lively discussion surrounds Ogdensburg vacancy committee appointment

OGDENSBURG — A heated debate ensued at Monday night’s City Council meeting over the appointment of a new member to the city’s vacancy committee — an appointment that ultimately prevailed.
Mark Knowlton, a city resident who does business with one councilor, was appointed by a 4-3 vote to the spot left vacant by former committee chairman Michael Frary.
Mr. Frary was first appointed to the seat in November 2011, but his term expired Dec. 31, 2020.
Mr. Knowlton’s term began immediately following his appointment Monday and will run through Dec. 31, 2025.
Councilors John A. Rishe, William B. Dillabough and Steven M. Fisher and Mayor Jeffrey M. Skelly voted in favor of Mr. Knowlton’s appointment. Councilors Nichole L. Kennedy, Michael B. Powers and Daniel E. Skamperle voted against the appointment.
