The City Council voted unanimously April 14 to appoint Tiffany Thomas as presiding municipal court judge, with the appointment effective May 1, 2026, for a two-year term.
Council members framed the appointment as continuity for the municipal court, which they said handles small-claims cases, truancy matters and other proceedings affecting families and young people. "Your service is truly, truly valued," the mayor said, thanking Thomas for her work.
Council member (speaker 3) said the community had offered "nothing but positive comments" about Thomas. Another council member noted the municipal court is "the closest court to the people" and emphasized that the role can involve difficult decisions related to children and families. "It's not necessarily always an easy role and so we're happy that you're in that position," a council member said.
The mayor called for a motion; the motion was made and seconded, and the council then voted "aye." The mayor announced the motion carried unanimously.
The appointment was announced as the council resumed proceedings after executive session. No additional conditions, salary details or further administrative steps were provided in the meeting record.
