Council approves internal transfer to fill senior director of communications
Summary
The council approved a motion authorizing the speaker to initiate an internal transfer to fill the senior director of communications position by voice vote; the motion carried with no discussion and no individual vote tallies recorded.
Unidentified Speaker (S1), the presiding officer during the session, asked for a motion "to authorize the speaker of the council to move forward with an internal transfer to fill the position of senior director of communications." A motion and a second were recorded and, after the presiding officer said there was no discussion, the body approved the action by voice vote. The presiding officer then stated, "That motion carries."
Why it matters: Filling the senior communications post affects how the council communicates with the public and coordinates messaging for council initiatives. The approved authorization allows the speaker to pursue an internal personnel transfer rather than opening an external recruitment process.
What happened and what’s next: The transcript records the motion, a second and a voice vote but does not identify who moved or seconded the motion, nor does it include an individual roll-call tally. The motion was approved on a voice vote and no further procedural steps were stated in the record; the transcript does not specify a timeline for completing the transfer or the name of any appointee.
