Council confirms Sarah Kastura as interim finance director, declares emergency
Summary
Council approved Ordinance No. 2025-140 to confirm Sarah Kastura as interim director of finance following a resignation; ordinance passed under suspension and emergency declaration to ensure continuity.
The Solon City Council voted to confirm Sarah Kastura as interim director of finance and declared an emergency to expedite the appointment following the resignation of the prior finance director. The action was approved under suspension and final passage was recorded at the meeting as Ordinance No. 2025-140.
Councilmember Pulunas moved for passage under suspension, noting the finance committee had previously approved the appointment and that the mayor will later appoint a permanent finance director subject to council confirmation. The motion was seconded and passed on roll call with recorded yes votes for the councilmembers present.
Minutes and council remarks indicated the interim appointment is to ensure continuity in the finance department while the mayor works to appoint and the council confirms a permanent successor. No additional conditions or limitations on the interim appointment were recorded in the meeting transcript.
Because the ordinance was passed under emergency, the appointment took immediate effect to maintain departmental operations pending the longer-term hiring process.
