Administration committee confirms Erin M. Hearn as West Allis city administrator

The West Allis Administration Committee voted to confirm Mayoral appointment Erin M. Hearn as city administrator effective May 27, 2025, adopting Resolution R-2025-1435.

Committee members said the interview process was "very thorough" and praised the collaboration used to select the candidate. One committee member said, "I appreciated the collaboration that, Richard and others set up was very thorough," and another noted Hearns familiarity with the region and state as an asset.

Because the item was listed for discussion, the committee first reviewed the appointment and then considered the resolution to confirm the mayoral appointment. Alderman Weigel was excused from the meeting; four committee members were present. There was no extended debate and no recorded roll-call dissent. The chair called for the question; members voiced their approval and the chair declared, "The ayes have it." After the vote, Erin M. Hearn said, "Thank you very much."

No additional formal directives, follow-up assignments, or contested amendments were recorded during the committee discussion. The resolution sets Hearns start date as May 27, 2025; the committee did not attach other conditions in the meeting record.

The confirmation moves the appointment to take effect as stated; any further onboarding or administrative steps were not specified during the committee session.
