Ithaca Minute – Common Council resignation and Cornell President Inauguration
Here’s the Ithaca Minute for August 24th!
The City of Ithaca says a position is opening up on Common Council to replace alderperson Josephine Martell, who announced last week she’s resigning as of August 24. Common Council is looking for a resident of the 5th ward to fill out the rest of her term. The temporary replacement will serve until December 31, 2017, and the vacant seat will be on the ballot this fall to elect a new alderperson as part of the November general election. Martell’s term had been through 2019. Acting mayor Deborah Mohlenhoff is the other Common Council member who serves the 5th ward.
Anyone interested in serving out Martell’s term “should forward a letter of interest and resume to City Clerk Julie Conley Holcomb at [email protected] or to the City Clerk’s Office, 108 E. Green Street, Ithaca, New York 14850, no later than August 29, 2017.”
Two days of public events will mark the inauguration of Dr. Martha E. Pollack, Cornell University’s 14th President. Events are scheduled this Thursday and Friday. Introduced last fall, Dr. Pollack was previously provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at the University of Michigan.
An installation ceremony will take place Friday afternoon at 2pm on Cornell’s Arts Quad, followed by a “Street Fair” from 4-5:30pm, featuring music, dance, displays, and a community picnic with fare from Cornell Catering and local vendors, plus the debut of a special Cornell Dairy ice cream flavor in Dr. Pollack’s honor.
