A call for nominations to fill two vacancies on the Kingston village commission has yielded a sufficient number of applications to negate the need for an election, tentatively planned for Dec. 3.
Former commissioner Doug Beaman was one of two village residents to file nomination papers by the Nov. 25 deadline. Beaman, now retired from the military, served two previous terms on the commission, the first from 1982 to 1983 and again between 1996 and 1999.
Local business operator Brad Beardsley will be the new face on the commission and will share the table with his father, Tom, chairman of the village commission.
Kingston’s clerk treasurer Greg Towne said both positions will be in effect until the village’s annual general meeting in May 2010. The seats held by Beaman and Beardsley are the only two that will be up for renewal then. Commissioner Lorne Reid has one more year before the completion of his term, and both Martha Armstrong and Tom Beardsley will have wrapped up year one of their three-year terms.
The new commissioners will be sworn in at the Kings County office in Kentville prior to the village commission’s Dec. 9 regular meeting.
