Mayor presented Jack Mosby as his nominee for Council Seat 5 and summarized Mosby's application and resume before the nominee addressed the council.

In a public interview, Mosby, a Post Falls resident and practicing attorney, described his background—service in the U.S. Marines, law and business degrees, and civil practice in Coeur d'Alene—and told councilors he wants to serve because he believes in community service. When asked about priorities for Post Falls, Mosby identified housing affordability and attracting local jobs as top concerns, and said the council should evaluate land-use and development proposals on a case-by-case basis while relying on staff reports and public input.

After questioning from multiple councilors about his philosophy and potential conflicts, a motion to appoint Mosby was moved and seconded, the clerk recorded a roll-call vote, and the motion was approved. Mosby then took the oath and was seated as councilor.

Mosby's confirmation follows the mayor's explanation that state law requires the mayor to nominate a candidate for a vacancy and the council to confirm that nominee. The council emphasized that interviews and published application materials were provided to increase transparency in the appointment process.

The council will oversee Mosby as he begins his term and expects staff to publish appointment materials and meeting video for the record.
