Ishae Collins, post 3 at-large member and chair of the Committee on Council, introduced a resolution to appoint Keith Lamar to the Atlanta Ethics Board as the Gate City Bar Association representative. Staff asked to take the previously held item up and introduced Mr. Lamar before the committee voted.

The committee approved the resolution by a 6-0 vote. Vice Chair Lilliana Bhatiari moved to approve and Councilman Jason Winston seconded; the item was reported as favorable to move to the full council. Staff confirmed Lamar does not need to be present at the full council meeting and that the clerk’s office will follow up on next steps.

Keith Lamar, who identified himself as an Atlanta attorney and former Fulton County deputy district attorney, told the committee he grew up in Atlanta, attended Morehouse College and Thurgood Law School, and said he was “looking forward to serving.” He described his commitment to the city and his legal experience during brief remarks.

The appointment is described in the transcript with item identifiers rendered as “25-R-4217” and later as “825R4217.” The resolution text in the transcript specifies a three-year term commencing upon approval. The committee’s favorable report moves the nomination to today’s full council agenda for final action.
