Georgetown City Council Approves Appointment of Audrey Capra Schnitz as Assistant City Attorney

In a recent Georgetown City Council meeting held on August 26, 2025, the council addressed several key issues, including the appointment of a new assistant city attorney and public participation opportunities.

The meeting began with a significant action item, where the council unanimously approved the appointment of Audrey Capra Schnitz as an assistant city attorney, effective September 8, 2025. This decision reflects the council's ongoing efforts to strengthen its legal team and ensure effective governance in the city.

Public engagement was also a focal point of the meeting. Residents were encouraged to participate by addressing the council on agenda items. Those wishing to speak were informed about the process, which allows for three minutes of speaking time, with the option to extend this to six minutes if someone cedes their time. This approach aims to foster community involvement and ensure that citizens' voices are heard in local governance.

During the meeting, Rebecca English, a resident of Malaga Drive, took the opportunity to speak on a topic not listed on the agenda. Her participation highlights the council's commitment to providing a platform for residents to express their concerns and suggestions, further enhancing community engagement.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's dedication to both administrative efficiency and public participation, setting a positive tone for future discussions and decisions that will impact the Georgetown community. As the council moves forward, the focus will likely remain on fostering transparency and responsiveness to resident needs.
