Council adopts late-file personnel orders, approves consent agenda and adjourns in memory of four residents
Summary
The council voted to add and adopt four late-file personnel orders, approved the consent agenda, and closed the meeting with memorials for Judge Michael Flaherty, Joseph Eubanks Jr., Judge Leslie Harris and John Axelrod.
During the Jan. 1 organizational session the Boston City Council voted to add four late-file personnel orders to the agenda (all filed by Councilor Menyard Culpepper) and then passed those personnel orders.
The clerk read each late-file personnel item into the record and the council voted to adopt them by voice vote. The council then approved the consent agenda after the clerk reported there were no additions.
Members offered memorial remarks for four people who recently died: Judge Michael Flaherty (remembered by Councilor Flynn), Joseph Eubanks Jr. (noted by Councilor Louis Jean and Councilor Culpepper), Judge Leslie Harris (lifted up by Councilor Culpepper) and John Axelrod (referenced by Councilor Durkin as a Back Bay resident and art collector). The council adjourned in their memory.
The clerk recorded the votes on the late files and the consent agenda; the transcript records the actions but does not include detailed personnel-order text or public personnel appointment details beyond the items being adopted.
