Committee forwards reappointment of four municipal judges to full council
Summary
At a Public Safety Committee meeting Nov. 3, staff recommended reappointing two associate trial judges and two administrative judges to two-year terms expiring Dec. 1, 2027. The committee voted to forward the reappointments to the full council for confirmation.
City staff told the Public Safety Committee that four part-time municipal judges’ terms are expiring and recommended reappointment to two-year terms ending Dec. 1, 2027. The recommendation cited South Carolina law governing municipal judge appointments and the current court workload as justification for maintaining the existing number and composition of part-time judges.
A motion to forward the reappointments of Associate Trial Judges McKibben and Christopher Jackson, and Administrative Judges Curtis Spearman and Mark Putnam to the full council was made by Council Member Craylen and seconded. The committee voted by voice and the motion carried; the committee chair announced the record reflects unanimous consent. The committee noted there is no fiscal impact because the budget already includes the positions.
The item will appear on a future full-council consent or confirmation agenda for formal appointment by the council.
