Summary

At its April meeting, Milford's City Council appointed Jason James as vice mayor by voice vote, reappointed interim city solicitor David Rutt, and announced committee chairs and members for the year.

The Milford City Council voted to continue Jason James Sr. as vice mayor and reappointed David Rutt to serve as interim city solicitor while the council seeks a permanent replacement.

A councilmember moved to appoint Jason James to continue as vice mayor and the motion was seconded by Katrina Wilson; the chair called for an aye/no voice vote and the motion carried. The council then reappointed David Rutt as interim city solicitor after noting Rutt had previously announced he planned to retire after 14 years of service; Rutt agreed to remain in the interim role "until we find a permanent one," according to the meeting record. A motion to reappoint Rutt was moved and seconded, followed by a voice vote that the chair recorded as in favor.

Councilmembers also announced committee assignments for the year. The economic development and code enforcement committee will be led by Medulla Calisas with Lori (or Laurie) Connor, Daniel Marabello and Danny Perez as members.
