Summary

The mayor announced Monday that John Scavelli’s employment as law of record for the city ended last week and that Deputy Director of Law Andrea Uhler will serve as acting director pursuant to Charter Section 4.02.
The mayor said he will evaluate the law department’s long‑term needs and intends to submit a nomination for a permanent replacement to council before the summer under Charter Section 4.04; council’s consent will be requested at that time.
Council members were told Andrea Uhler was not present at the meeting because she was attending a conference; the mayor said he expects to bring a formal appointment to council in the coming months. The council later moved into an executive session “to consider personal matters” and returned without announcing any formal personnel action related to the executive session.
No vote was taken on a permanent appointment at Monday’s meeting; the mayor described the change as an administrative transition and said he would keep council apprised of developments.
