New Century Council Member Sworn In; Council President, VP Elected
January 6, 2015
The newest member of the Century Town Council was sworn in Monday night, along with two incumbents as the council picked its leaders for the next three years.
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. Reelected members Gary Riley and Sandra McMurray Jackson also took the oath of office.
Member Ann Brooks was reelected as the council’s president, while Annie Savage was elected as council vice president. Savage was absent from Monday night’s meeting for health reasons.

Congratulations Ben!!
William & Wondering….I was wondering the same thing
Welcome aboard. I think Ben’s military and civil service experience will be an asset to the position. The books and raising of hands is a tradition and not necessary one way or the other. It is what was said and promised that is important. I’m proud to be here in a town that is actively positive and seeking improvements.
>>>Shouldn’t he be raising his RIGHT hand?
They don’t administer the oath of office very often in Century, and they had a little ‘who stands where and does what’ confusion last night.
Shouldn’t he be raising his RIGHT hand?
