Wellington Village Council — The council recorded several formal votes during its Jan. 28 meeting. Key outcomes included:

Additional procedural direction recorded at the meeting: council instructed staff and counsel to open the process for a request for qualifications to fill the code compliance special magistrate position (the agenda item reappointment of Alan Zangan was removed); staff said the RFQ will be open to all applicants including the incumbent. That amendment to the agenda and the direction to solicit letters of interest were adopted as part of the meeting’s agenda actions.
