Monte Vista approves municipal-judge contract and names new city attorney on one-year trial
Summary
Council approved a two-year contract for municipal judge John Stenger and appointed Brad Crowell as city attorney on a one-year trial contract; members also clarified inconsistent spellings of the judge's name in paperwork.
The Monte Vista City Council approved a two-year contract for municipal judge nominee John Stenger and appointed Brad Crowell as the city attorney on a one-year trial contract.
Speaker 2 told the council that Stenger had signed the contract and would appear at the Jan. 8 council meeting to be sworn in and to answer any questions. Speaker 1 moved to approve the two-year contract for Stenger; the motion was seconded and carried by roll-call vote.
During the discussion councilors noted inconsistent spellings of the judge's name on paperwork. Speaker 1 asked for clarification and Speaker 2 confirmed the spelling on the contract as S-T-E-N.
Separately, Speaker 1 nominated Brad Crowell for city attorney and proposed that his contract be for one year "as a trial" rather than the two-year term discussed previously. The motion to appoint Crowell to a one-year contract was seconded and approved by roll call.
Both actions were procedural personnel decisions recorded in the meeting minutes; the judge is scheduled to be sworn in and the newly appointed city attorney will serve under the one-year agreement unless the council modifies that arrangement at a future meeting.
