Erlanger council approves statewide mutual-aid order, ratifies Mark Collier as city administrator
Summary
Council voted to authorize the mayor to sign a statewide mutual-aid agreement for emergency response and ratified the mayoral appointment of Mark Collier as city administrator effective Sept. 1, 2025; incoming administrator thanked council and praised outgoing administrator Peter Glenn.
The Erlanger City Council on Aug. 5 approved a municipal order authorizing the mayor to execute a statewide mutual-aid agreement that expands emergency-response cooperation across Kentucky and can enable FEMA funding when the city sends personnel to other disaster-affected areas.
City attorney (reader) summarized the agreement, saying the order extends existing Northern Kentucky mutual aid into a statewide framework that could provide additional support to under-resourced communities after natural disasters. Mayor Feddy called for the motion and the council voted in favor; the meeting record states the motion carried.
The council also considered and ratified the mayor's appointment of Mark Collier as the city's next city administrator, effective Sept. 1, 2025, after the retirement of current administrator Peter Glenn on Aug. 31. The appointment was presented as a municipal order requiring council ratification; members voted to approve the appointment.
After the ratification, Mark Collier addressed the council and thanked Peter Glenn, calling Glenn a mentor, and said he was "incredibly excited to take this role on and work with each of you more intimately." Mayor Feddy praised Glenn's leadership and contributions to city projects and programming.
Next steps: The appointment takes effect Sept. 1; staff will proceed with transition activities ahead of Glenn's retirement.
