The City of West Columbia City Council unanimously appointed attorney Joy Floyd to serve as the council's hearing officer for business-license revocations and related appeals.
The council's motion assigned Floyd duties “to include making rulings on evidentiary matters and ruling on legal matters,” while explicitly reserving to the council the right “to determine the merits of the final issue on revocations,” according to the public remarks. Council members later restated the motion to clarify the scope as “for purposes of hearings on business license, revocations, and appeals of any other matters related to business license.”
The appointment passed without recorded public debate and was approved unanimously. The meeting transcript did not specify whether Floyd will receive a contract, the term of appointment, compensation, or the administrative process for scheduling hearings under this role.
