Summary
In closed session the council voted 5‑0 to appoint Deputy City Administrator and Finance Director Jennifer Lampman as the city's next city administrator, effective when a formal contract is approved at a future meeting.
After closed-session discussion May 20, staff reported the City Council approved a motion, 5‑0, to appoint Jennifer Lampman as the city's next city administrator. The closed-session report stated: "The council has agreed to appoint Jennifer Lampman, who currently serves as the deputy city administrator and finance director, as the city's next city administrator."
