TORRINGTON – There won’t be an immediate appointment to fill an open seat on the Torrington City Council, according to Torrington Mayor Randy Adams.
According to Adams, the open seat will remain that way through at least the candidate sign-up period from May 14-29. The seat was up for election in November anyway, and Adams said it didn’t make sense to appoint someone until potential candidates emerge.
“At this point, this first process that is a month away, there’s not much of a point in us appointing somebody for a month then bringing somebody else in at that time because they have signed up,” Adams said.
The open seat previously belonged to Matt Mattis, who was forced to resign from his post earlier this month after he and his family moved to an address outside of the city limits. Mattis, a Torrington native, was appointed to the council in February 2019 after Adams’ ascension to mayor.
