Civil Service Committee holds brief session on personnel appointments and filings

The Buffalo City Council Committee on Civil Service met Sept. 23, 2025. Committee members moved to approve a notice of appointment for an administrative assistant and to receive-and-file several subsequent agenda items; both motions were seconded, and the transcript records a motion to adjourn.

The committee began with roll call. The transcript records Council Chairman Wyatt calling the meeting to order and calling attendance: Council members Volna, Nowakowski, Rivera, Everhart and Holden Pope were recorded as present. The session moved immediately to routine personnel items.

During the item on personnel, the transcript records: “Item 1, notice of appointment, administrative assistant. Motion to approve items 1 through and including form.” That motion was seconded by Council member Bowman, according to the transcript. Later, under Item 5 the transcript records: “Item 5, appointment complaint clerk. Motion to receive and file items 5 through and including 9,” which was seconded by Council member Revere. The transcript then records a “Motion to adjourn,” seconded by Council member Norcoskie.

The committee transcript does not include any discussion of the nominations, no roll-call vote tallies, and no public comment recorded on these items. The record in the transcript shows motions and seconds but does not record explicit vote counts or a formal roll-call outcome for the listed motions.

No ordinances, statutes, or other legal authorities were cited on the recorded portions of the transcript provided. The items on the agenda appear to be routine committee actions on personnel and routine filings; no substantive debate, conditions, or amendments are recorded in the supplied transcript.

The committee adjourned after the procedural motions. The transcript does not indicate follow-up assignments, implementation dates, or further hearings in the provided excerpt.
