Boutwell To Become Century’s Newest Council Member

January 4, 2015

The newest member of the Century Town Council will be sworn in Monday night.

Benjamin Boutwell was elected without opposition to the Seat 3 position on the council after first-time member Jacke Johnston, a teacher at Byrneville Elementary School, did not seek reelection.

As of Monday, only one candidate had qualified to run for one of three Century Town Council seats up for election this year.  Benjamin D. Boutwell filed Monday for the Century Town Council Seat 3 position currently held by incumbent Jacke Johnston.  Boutwell is retired Air Force and a 1981 Century High School graduate that moved back to Century nearly three years ago after retiring from the Air Force. He is a civil service employee at Eglin Air Force Base.

Also Monday night, the council will organize for the upcoming year by electing a council president and  vice president.

The Century Town Council will meet at 7:00 Monday night at the Century Town Hall.
