The Committee on Civil Service on July 29 removed a personnel item from the consent table, opened it for discussion and received and filed a certificate appointing Haley Whitney as policy coordinator.

The action occurred after a motion to remove the item from the table and a motion to open the item for discussion. Remo Nossworthy, Commissioner of Administration and Finance, described the item as a personnel appointment and invited questions. "This particular item is a certificate of appointment, to appoint Haley Whitney as the policy coordinator. There are any questions related to this. I'm open to answer them," Nossworthy said.

Committee members first moved to approve other consent items and to receive and file a batch of notices. A motion to approve items 1 through 7 was made and seconded by Council Member Bowman; a separate motion to receive and file items 8 through 18 was moved and seconded on the floor. Committee members later moved to remove the appointment item from the table, open it for discussion and then receive and file the appointment certificate. The transcript records a motion to receive and file by Council Member Nowakowski; no roll-call vote or tally is shown in the meeting record provided.

Council Member Wyatt is recorded as having requested more information about the appointment earlier in the meeting; the transcript indicates, however, that no substantive follow-up questions were raised after the commissioner's description. The committee concluded the meeting shortly after the appointment item was received and filed.

Because the transcript does not include a roll-call or numerical vote tally for the appointment, the public record here reflects the committee's procedural actions (removal from table, opening, and receiving-and-filing the certificate) rather than a detailed vote count or an employment start date for the appointee.
