Council appoints Ben Hilliard as mayor pro tem; Mike Taylor added to finance committee
Summary
The Woodland Hills City Council approved two appointments late in the meeting: Ben Hilliard was named mayor pro tem and Mike Taylor was appointed to the Finance Committee. Both items were approved by voice vote; no detailed roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The Woodland Hills City Council approved two personnel appointments during the meeting's closing business.
Council adopted Resolution 2025-01 appointing Ben Hilliard as mayor pro tem. The motion was made from the floor and seconded; the motion was carried by voice vote and the mayor declared the motion approved.
The council then adopted Resolution 2025-02 appointing Mike Taylor to the Finance Committee. A council member moved the appointment, another seconded, and the motion passed by voice vote.
What happened: Both appointments were routine personnel actions taken by the council during the meeting’s action items. The meeting transcript records the motions and that the motions “carried,” but it does not list a complete roll-call vote or a numerical tally; council members present voiced “Aye” and no opposition was recorded.
Why it matters: Appointing a mayor pro tem establishes which council member will act in the mayor’s absence; the Finance Committee appointment adds a member to a standing advisory committee that reviews city financial matters.
Ending: Both resolutions passed and were recorded as approved in the meeting minutes. No additional policy or budgetary changes were enacted as part of these appointments.
