Lakewood committee inserts Angelina Steiner into Resolution 2024-71 and refers it to full council

At a meeting of the Lakewood Committee of the Whole, members voted to insert the name Angelina Steiner into Resolution 2024-71 and to refer the resolution favorably back to the full City Council.

The action followed an executive session. President Keppel thanked the applicants before the committee voted, saying, "And I will just take a moment here to thank everyone who applied. We had absolutely tremendous candidates. As you can tell from the length that we just spent in the back room, this is not an easy decision. We are truly blessed here in Lakewood to have so many wonderful candidates and especially wonderful women, willing to step up and serve. So thank you all, and I know we'll be seeing you in the future as well."

The committee first voted by roll call to exit the executive session. Members Evans, Marks, Keppel, Baker, Bullock and Strybick were recorded as voting "yes."

A motion to "enter the name Angelina Steiner in Resolution 2024-71" was made and seconded. Vice President Baker said, "Yes. Thank you President Kepel. And I will say that I President Kepel and I were literally in the same situation 4 years ago. She was picked. Great choice." The committee chair called for the vote; members responded "Aye," and the motion passed.

Following that vote, the committee made and seconded a motion to refer Resolution 2024-71 favorably back to the full City Council. The committee voted in favor and the motion passed.

No further business was taken and the committee adjourned.
