A political fight over proposed appointments to the Auburn Water and Sewer District trustees will leave both of the panels shorthanded — but still able to conduct business — until the dispute is resolved. But Normand R. Lamie, superintendent of both districts, said some of the issues facing at least the water district’s trustees in the near future could be better dealt with if positions were not left vacant. The conflict occurred earlier this month when Mayor Richard L. Trafton unsuccessfully tried to fill two positions on the water district board and one on the sewer district, but found himself up against the City Council, which refused to confirm the nominations. The issue is likely to arise again when the City Council meets Monday if Trafton takes a second stab at nominating candidates to the two boards.
