Summary
The council voted to suspend rules to take the appointment out of order, then confirmed Caitlin Deshanes to the Everett Police Department by roll call and the clerk administered the oath; the confirmation and suspension votes were unanimous in favor.
The Everett City Council voted to suspend the rules to take item number 4 out of order, then confirmed the appointment of Caitlin Deshanes to the Everett Police Department and the clerk administered the oath of office.
Council President Stephanie Martins offered the order requesting confirmation of the appointment. After a roll call on the suspension motion the clerk recorded “11 yeas, 0 nays” and the council proceeded to the appointment. On the confirmation roll call, the clerk again recorded “11 yeas, 0 nays.” The newly confirmed officer was invited forward and sworn in on the council floor; the oath was administered aloud.
Why it matters: The council’s roll-call confirmation and on-floor swearing are the final local steps for this appointment to the Everett Police Department.
Ending: The council recessed to allow a family photo and returned to open public participation after the swearing-in.
