Mayor Preston announced an interim appointment later in the meeting: he said he will interimly appoint Rob Bigner to act as law director while the city works through the central committee process for a permanent replacement. The mayor said Bigner has worked with the city for many years and that the administration will seek the central committee's support for a long-term appointment.
