Windsor Town Board completes appointments to fill vacant seats

Kenneth Symsack was appointed to the Windsor Town Board this week to fill the vacancy created last month when Julie Cline was appointed mayor.

A vote to appoint Symsack, who has lived in Windsor for seven years, to the seat representing District 4 was held during a special meeting of the Town Board Monday night, according to a news release Thursday from Town Clerk Karen Frawley. Symsack was administered the oath of office shortly after the vote, making his appointment official.

Brian Jones was appointed and sworn in to fill the District 2 seat on the Town Board at the same meeting June 10 during which Cline was appointed mayor, according to a previous news release. Cline was chosen as the town's mayor after former mayor Barry Wilson was forced to leave the board based on a judge's ruling last month, according to previous Coloradoan reporting.

Cline's term as mayor, as well as the terms of Symsack and Jones, run through the town's next regular election, scheduled for April 2026.

All six seats on the Town Board are now filled, according to the news release.
