Council creates subcommittee to interview audit committee applicants; Councilor Irvin to chair
Summary
City staff asked the Cottage Grove City Council to appoint a subcommittee to interview applicants for a vacancy on the audit committee; Councilor Irvin volunteered and was named chair. Staff also said the subcommittee will review financial policies before the next budget process.
City staff asked the Cottage Grove City Council to form a subcommittee to interview applicants for one vacancy on the audit committee and to review upcoming financial‑policy work ahead of the next budget cycle.
A staff member explained there are currently two council members serving on the audit committee and that two citizen members have terms expiring July 31, leaving one vacancy. The staff request included asking the council to appoint three interviewers and to name a chair to lead interviews and coordination with staff.
Councilor Irvin volunteered to chair the subcommittee and was confirmed by the group: "So, Mindy, councilor Irvin will be the chair," a councilor stated during the meeting. Staff said it will advertise the vacancy and assist in scheduling interviews. The staff representative also noted the subcommittee would help review the city's budget financial policies prior to the next budget process.
No formal vote tally was recorded in the transcript; the appointment was handled by volunteer confirmation and staff direction to proceed with outreach and scheduling.
