City council confirms Brian Erickson as alternate part-time municipal judge

Councilor Rogers announced the mayor's appointment of Brian Erickson as an alternate part-time municipal judge and asked the council to confirm the appointment. The council approved the confirmation by a 3-0 vote; the appointment becomes effective Oct. 5, 2025, and is made pursuant to Section 11-2-1(e) of the city code.

The vote followed a motion to confirm moved by Councilor Giacchino. No public discussion or dissent was recorded during the confirmation. The appointment replaces part-time municipal judge Gary Frye for the remainder of the period described by the mayor’s nomination.

This action was a single-item confirmation; council minutes show no further debate, and no additional direction to staff was given during the agenda item. The council did not record individual roll-call votes by name in the transcript excerpt; the presiding Mayor Pro Tem called the voice vote, and the motion carried 3-0.

No other details about Judge Erickson’s background, terms beyond the effective date, or compensation were discussed on the record during the meeting.
