City staff recommended Miss Morris to fill the vacancy in the city solicitor's office after the previous solicitor was elected to the Fourth Judicial Circuit, and the Lancaster City Council approved the appointment by unanimous roll-call vote.
City staff member Mike Bur announced the vacancy and presented Miss Morris as the recommended replacement. He said Miss Morris previously served as an assistant disciplinary counsel in state offices and holds a law degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law. "If appointed, [she] will serve out the remainder of the term, which will expire Jan. 13, 2026," staff said.
Council members moved and seconded the appointment; the record shows Council Member Harris, Council Member Hood, Council Member Marsh and Mayor Deini voting yes. Council did not record the name of the member who made the motion or the member who seconded it in the transcript excerpt.
The appointment fills an immediate vacancy in the city solicitor's office so the city can continue routine legal work and representation. No additional details about Miss Morris's prior cases, compensation or start date were provided at the work session.
The council completed the appointment during the work session; no further action was scheduled in the transcript.
