The Saint Paul City Council voted to appoint Kamud Verma as the council's chief budget officer and Tim Greenfield as chief policy officer and conducted swearing‑in ceremonies for both appointees.
On the appointment of Kamud Verma (Resolution 25‑1219), Council members praised Verma's experience and early work supporting council offices during the budget process.
