Council records oaths and approves appointments to urban forestry and commission posts; names interim directors
Summary
Council filed multiple oaths of office for new Urban Forestry Commission members, accepted oaths for Community Police Commission members, and recorded an oath for John Laird as interim director of the Department of Public Works; it also approved an appointment to the Tax Incentive Review Council without objection.
Cleveland City Council on July 28 recorded a series of oath-of-office filings and confirmed at least one appointment without objection. The communications list includes oaths of office for multiple Urban Forestry Commission members: Jennifer Chandler, Eamon Danielson, Laura Marks, Tom Schreiber, Beck Schwab, Sarah Tilly, Janan Bernard Barrard, Whitney Long Jones and Janan Bernard Barrard (as listed). The meeting record also includes file entries for Imu Umozin (Community Police Commission), and an oath for John Laird as interim director of the Department of Public Works. Council President Blaine A. Griffin introduced a separate appointment: File 9342025 from Mayor Justin Bibb appointing Dion Alexander to the Tax Incentive Review Council. Later in the meeting a separate appointment motion (File 1056 from Council President Griffin) recommending the appointment of Dion Alexander to the tax incentive review council pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code section 5709.85(A)(1) was approved “without objection,” per the transcript. The transcript records the filing of the oaths and that the appointment to the Tax Incentive Review Council was approved without objection; it does not record additional debate about the qualifications of the appointees or formal roll-call votes tied to each oath-of-office filing. The oaths and appointment filings will be reflected in the council’s official minutes and commission rosters.
