Covington council approves amended hiring resolution for village administrator
Summary
Covington Village Council unanimously approved an amended resolution to hire Jordan Hodges as Village Administrator and waived the three-reading rule. The minutes contain a typographical inconsistency on the stated start date; the council voted to approve the amendment.
Covington Village Council voted unanimously March 17 to approve Amended Resolution R13-25 authorizing the hiring of Jordan Hodges as Village Administrator.
The council first voted to waive the three-reading rule for the amended resolution after Jess Reynolds moved to do so and Julie Blumenstock seconded. Amy Welborn then moved to approve the amended resolution and Dawn Duff seconded; the minutes record an "All ayes" voice vote and the motion passed.
The minutes state the resolution’s hire date in two inconsistent ways: the resolution header lists a start date of April 14, 2025, while a later sentence in the same paragraph reads April 14, 2024. The council minutes do not provide further clarification; this article uses the April 14, 2025 date shown in the resolution header and notes the transcript inconsistency.
The minutes list the council members present for the vote as Amy Welborn (President of Council), Julie Blumenstock, Dawn Duff, Derrick Canan, Jess Reynolds and Martin Leistner, and record the approval as unanimous. The minutes do not specify salary, contract length, or other hiring details.
