Land Use Committee approves hiring of District 6 legislative assistant
Summary
The committee approved hiring Caitlin Christophe as District 6 legislative assistant after a motion by the sponsor and a voice vote; questions were raised about interview access and administrative start‑date logistics.
The New Castle County Land Use Committee voted to approve the hiring of Caitlin Christophe as the District 6 legislative assistant during its Jan. 6 meeting. Sponsor Councilman Carter said the review team conducted a broad search and recommended Christophe based on her experience in government relations, community advocacy and legislative affairs.
Councilman Carter moved to approve the hire and the motion was seconded. A councilmember placed on the record that their request for an interview had been "strongly rebuffed." The motion carried by voice vote (ayes). Council members asked about start date and step placement; staff said personnel and payroll will coordinate onboarding once the council approves and Christophe completes required steps such as a physical and paperwork.
The committee closed the item after voting; personnel staff were assigned to complete onboarding steps.
