Council appoints Catherine Shaw Rodriguez as interim city clerk through next election
Summary
The council appointed longtime community member Catherine Shaw Rodriguez to fill the city clerk vacancy; the appointment will last until the next regular election and passed 5–0.
The Livingston City Council appointed Catherine Shaw Rodriguez to fill the vacant city clerk position by a unanimous roll call vote Thursday.
Staff said the former city clerk was out of the office and there had been no applicants posted in the human-resources file; Rodriguez had notified the deputy city clerk of her interest by email, staff said. Legal counsel noted that state law limits an appointed term to two years if it fills a vacancy, so the appointment will run only until the next regularly scheduled election.
Councilmember (unnamed speaker in the record) moved to appoint Rodriguez; a second followed and the roll call vote was 5–0 in favor. Staff reported Rodriguez indicated she could be sworn in as soon as the office confirmed logistics.
Councilmembers thanked Rodriguez for her civic engagement and noted her prior service as city treasurer; staff said the oath of office can be administered by the mayor or the designated official when she comes to City Hall.
