St. Charles council appoints Anne Marie Lampirillo as prosecuting attorney for administrative hearings
Summary
The Saint Charles City Council approved the appointment of Anne Marie Lampirillo to serve as prosecuting attorney for administrative adjudication hearings through the remainder of fiscal year 2024–25, citing a need for representation in complex code-enforcement matters.
The Saint Charles City Council on Feb. 3 approved the appointment of Anne Marie Lampirillo to serve as prosecuting attorney for the city’s administrative adjudication hearings through the remainder of fiscal year 2024–25.
City Attorney Nick Peppers recommended Lampirillo for the role, and Mayor Laura Vitak read the recommendation during the council’s new-business discussion. Vitak told the council that Lampirillo "will represent the city in these hearings, which involve non criminal offenses punishable by fines." The council approved the appointment by roll call following a motion moved by Werribal and seconded by Petrillo.
Council members said the role is particularly needed for more complex code-enforcement cases or when respondents have legal representation. The appointment covers noncriminal administrative hearings that can result in fines; it does not change criminal prosecutorial authority.
The motion passed on a roll call vote recorded in the meeting transcript with the following council members recorded as voting yes: Messer; Weber; Lucaides; Polk; Congard; Munt; Lencioni; Kem; Petrola. No no votes or abstentions were recorded in the transcript.
Lampirillo’s appointment runs only through the remainder of fiscal year 2024–25, and the council did not attach additional conditions or a specific dollar limit to the appointment during the session.
