Council directs staff on magistrate appointments and other administrative items

Summary

Council directed staff to advertise for at least two additional special magistrates, reappoint Ms. Hahn to another term and consider Mr. Posner as standby; council also discussed scheduling a privileged session on a quiet‑title matter and instructed staff to pursue follow‑up engineering and contractual items from the Isla Carroll hearing.

WELLINGTON, Fla. — At the conclusion of the Jan. 12 meeting, the council gave staff several administrative directions: reappoint Ms. Hahn as a special magistrate, advertise for additional magistrates (seek at least two candidates), and consider Mr. Posner as an alternate. The village attorney also requested a privileged session in late February on a quiet‑title action.

Council members asked staff to return with a negotiation outcome if the manager’s contract renewal is to be considered; a councilmember volunteered to lead that discussion and return with recommendations. The meeting closed after routine staff notices about upcoming meetings and community events.
