Following executive-session interviews of six applicants, council appointed Lisa Jackman to fill the Ward 3 seat for the remainder of the term; swearing-in scheduled after the meeting.
After conducting executive-session interviews with six applicants for a Ward 3 council vacancy, the London City Council appointed Lisa Jackman to serve the remainder of the vacant term.
Council president announced the names of six candidates in public session and then moved the meeting into executive session to interview each candidate separately. After returning to open session, council reported vote counts among present members: Jackman received four votes and Clarissa Ramey received two votes. The president announced the appointment of Lisa Jackman and invited her to sit for the remainder of the meeting; council said it would swear Jackman in after the meeting so she could participate in ongoing legislative discussion.
Council members encouraged other applicants to pursue service on city boards and commissions and reminded residents that independent candidates may still file petitions for the upcoming regular election (petitions due May 5, per comments in the meeting). Several council members praised the number of applicants from Ward 3 and thanked all who applied.
