Council confirms Alexandra Penicopoulas as city attorney with corrected start date
Summary
The council approved the appointment of Alexandra Penicopoulas as city attorney and corrected a start-date error in the resolution so she may start earlier than originally listed.
The Watertown Common Council on Aug. 19 confirmed the appointment of Alexandra Penicopoulas as city attorney and corrected an erroneous start date in the resolution packet. The item (Exhibit 9,779) was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: The council authorized the appointment and adjusted the start date to reflect the correct hiring timeline after noting an error in the packet (the draft had an incorrect date tied to a departing staffer). Council members approved the motion and welcomed the incoming attorney to the city staff.
Outcome: Motion passed by recorded yes votes; the corrected start date was noted in council materials and the attorney will assume duties per the revised schedule.
