Council advances Ben Smith as prosecuting attorney and adds chief assistant to Wednesday agenda
Summary
After executive session the council moved to forward the appointment of Ben Smith as prosecuting attorney (motion carried 6–1) and unanimously added an agenda item to consider naming Courtney Brubaker as chief assistant prosecutor; both items will be considered formally on Wednesday.
Following a brief executive session for personnel and legal matters, the council moved to advance personnel appointments to the formal Wednesday meeting.
Council member made a motion to move forward the appointment of Ben Smith as prosecuting attorney to the Wednesday agenda; the mayor called the vote and the motion carried (the transcript records the result as 6–1). Council also suspended the rules to add an agenda item for a chief assistant prosecutor and amended that motion to propose Courtney Brubaker for the chief‑assistant role; that motion was carried as presented (the work session recorded a 6–1 outcome when the amendment with the name was adopted). Both items will appear on the Wednesday agenda for final action and (per council direction) will not be placed on consent.
