Council conducts remote interview of Ike McKinnon for elected-officials compensation commission; item forwarded with recommendation
Summary
Isaiah (Ike) McKinnon appeared by phone for a reappointment interview to the elected-officials compensation commission, described a long record of public service and said he evaluates compensation requests against city affordability; the committee forwarded the reappointment with a recommendation to approve.
The Committee of the Whole conducted the scheduled 10:35 a.m. interview with Isaiah (Ike) McKinnon for reappointment to the elected-officials compensation commission. McKinnon experienced technical difficulties while joining but provided a brief summary of his background and approach.
McKinnon said he has been a public servant since 1961 in the military, in policing and as a university professor, and has served previously as deputy mayor. When asked what factors he considers in compensation deliberations, he said he looks to what the city can afford and to the rationale presented by those requesting changes.
The interview included a brief procedural exchange about technical connection and the committee thanked McKinnon for appearing while he was driving; the committee then moved to send the appointment (agenda item 7.1 as the companion resolution) to formal session with a recommendation to approve.
