Iowa City council designates Mayor Pro Tem Sala as interim sister-city representative; January budget session to be scheduled
Summary
Council informally designated Mayor Pro Tem Sala to represent the city on the sister-city board through the end of the year with an official selection expected at the January organizational meeting; council asked staff to confirm a Saturday in January for a budget retreat and start time.
During agenda review at the Nov. 18 work session, council discussed a memo from the city manager about the sister-city board appointment and whether to designate a council representative until the January organizational meeting. The council informally agreed to have Mayor Pro Tem Sala serve as the city’s interim representative and said it will formalize the appointment at the January organizational meeting.
Council members also reviewed proposed dates for the budget season and discussed scheduling a Saturday session in January to conduct budget work, with an 8 a.m. start time referenced by staff. Council asked staff to confirm the exact date and ensure the budget packet would be available in advance so members have time to review materials before the retreat.
Next steps: staff will confirm the official January organizational meeting date for the formal sister-city appointment and will finalize the January budget-session date and logistics.
