University Heights swears in Mark Weisman; council approves minutes and adjusts agenda
Summary
University Heights swore in Mark Weisman to fill a council seat, approved minutes from Jan. 20 with one abstention, and voted to move a swearing-in item earlier on the agenda during a general session meeting.
University Heights swore in Mark Weisman to the City Council and completed routine procedural business during a general session that also included an agenda adjustment and approval of meeting minutes.
Mayor Michelle Weiss administered the oath to Mark Weisman after the council agreed to move agenda item 9A forward so the swearing-in could occur earlier in the session. "I, Mark Weisman, ... solemnly affirm to support the Constitution and laws," Weisman said during the oath.
The council voted on the motion to adjust the agenda to accommodate the swearing-in. The clerk recorded affirmative votes from several members and the adjustment passed. After the oath the council took up approval of minutes from its Jan. 20 meeting. A motion to approve the minutes was made and seconded; the roll call recorded one abstention by Miss Marshall and the motion passed.
The procedural votes were routine and no policy changes or ordinances were enacted at this point. The council also noted that some seating changes occurred before the meeting to accommodate members and alternates.
What happens next: the meeting continued into reports and committee assignments, and the council indicated it would handle additional agenda referrals later in the session.
