Summary

At its May 5 meeting the Saint Charles City Council voted to approve the mayor's recommendation to appoint the city attorney for fiscal year 2025–26; the motion passed on a roll-call vote and the mayor introduced two members of the new law firm.

The Saint Charles City Council voted to approve the mayor's recommendation to appoint the city attorney for fiscal year 2025–26 at its Monday, May 5 meeting.

Alderman Weber moved the recommendation and an alderman seconded; the council then conducted a roll-call vote and recorded affirmative votes. The motion passed and Mayor Clint Hall introduced two members of the city’s new law firm, Joe McMahon and Pat Walsh, to the audience.

Councilors did not speak at length about the appointment during the meeting; after the motion the chair called for a roll call and tallied the votes. The transcript records affirmative responses from council members during the roll call but does not include a named, individual city attorney in the public comments portion of the meeting.

The meeting record shows the city formally welcomed representatives from the incoming firm but does not show additional details about the terms of the engagement, the name of the firm, or the individual who will serve as city attorney beyond the introduction of firm members.
