Summary

By consent the committee moved two appointment proposals (Evan Sharon and Robert Hammerly) and deferred Proposal 16-20-26 (adding a firefighters parental-leave section, 25-3-10) to give stakeholders additional time to confer and to return at the February committee meeting.

During the committee opening, Chair Leroy Robinson announced two appointment items and asked whether nominees were present. Proposal 3-75-2025 (appoint Evan Sharon to the juvenile detention advisory board) and Proposal 9-20-26 (reappoint Robert Hammerly to the Marion County Public Defender's Board) were not on hand; councilors agreed by consent to move both items to the committee’s February meeting.

Later the chair introduced Proposal 16-20-26 to amend the code by adding a firefighters parental-leave section (new section 25-3-10). Councilor Brown requested the firefighters be given additional time to consult with administration and counsel; by unanimous consent the committee moved the proposal to February as well.

These procedural moves were recorded by voice consent; no formal roll-call votes or amendments were recorded in the transcript. The proposals will return to the committee with stakeholders present for further discussion.
