Committee forms subcommittee to review Clerk of Council candidates

The Budget and Finance Committee voted to create a subcommittee to evaluate applicants for the Clerk of Council position. Council member Jeffries moved to create the subcommittee and the chair accepted nominations. The clerk recapped the membership: the subcommittee will consist of the Vice Mayor, Council member Krammerding (chair), Council member Parks and Council member Johnson. Why it matters: The Clerk of Council performs legislative-administrative functions and the selection process is subject to council oversight. Process: The motion was seconded and there was no recorded objection; the committee asked the clerk's office to note the subcommittee composition and referred the motion to counsel to formalize next steps. Ending: The committee placed the motion on for passage and said it would forward the subcommittee's work to counsel for procedural support.
