The confirmation of Cave Creek’s town council election results took place in a May 28th meeting in the Cave Creek Town Chambers.
The meeting was necessary to confirm the election count by the old council, and confirm the identity of the new council, which will serve a 3.5 year term. The result was the confirmation of Michael Durkin, Reggie Monachino, Adam Trenk, Charlie Spitzer and incumbent, Tom McGuire.
The entire council, including the Mayor, were sworn in for the next 3.5 years.
The new council elected Adam Trenk as new Vice-Mayor, with all members approving the choice.
Each newly certified candidate thanked the current council for their courtesy in past differences of opinion, and vowed to provide a similar respectful forum for any remarks from the past councilmen and their supporting citizens. The previous council members expressed the same wishes for a non-contentious and more respectful dialogue going forward.
As each individual new candidate – councilman spoke of these hopes, they also expressed their belief that the voters had seated them because there was a strong feeling that change was necessary. It was also expressed that part of that change had to come from a freedom to explore how the town would be managed henceforth. As a consequence, each new councilman requested, separately, that Mayor Vincent Francia place on the next meeting agenda that a review would be made of Town Manager Usama Abujbarah’s contract.
