The Town Council Thursday picked Planning and Zoning Commissioner Michael Whiting to replace Henry Schmitt, who resigned Jan. 23 for health reasons.

The six sitting council members indicated the decision to select Whiting, 64, out of an applicant field of five was difficult. Council members selected him by a majority vote with a secret ballot after eliminating two other applicants - Walt Nagy and James "Bo" Woods - in the first secret ballot.
