Council approves library appointment and two personnel ordinances in routine session
Summary
After routine procedure, council approved a library board appointment and adopted two ordinances authorizing hires for zoning/code enforcement and residential building official positions; suspension of rules was moved and both ordinances were adopted by voice roll-call with affirmative votes recorded.
At its Jan. 6 meeting the Defiance City Council approved several personnel and appointment items.
Library appointment: The council considered a nomination to the Defiance Public Library Board of Trustees for Rob (transcript lists 'Giesige' then 'Beasley') and approved the appointment by voice vote.
Personnel ordinances: Council read two ordinances by caption. The first caption, read as a first reading, authorized hiring a zoning commissioner and code enforcement officer (caption referenced a name that differs from the candidate named in discussion); staff told council they conducted an applicant round and selected Vicky Wernicke. The second ordinance authorized hiring Kyle Crocker as residential building official and declared an emergency; council noted the ordinance allows step increases tied to certification tests. For both ordinances, a motion to suspend the rules was made, seconded, and council then moved to adopt; roll-call results recorded affirmative votes and the ordinances were adopted.
Council recorded unanimous affirmative responses in the roll calls shown in the meeting record; the ordinances were therefore adopted during the Jan. 6 meeting.
