Council confirms election commission membership and two board appointments
Summary
Council appointed the City Administrator, City Clerk and Police Chief to the city's Election Commission (with the City Assessor as alternate) and confirmed Mayor Leeming's appointments of Jared Rondeau to the Planning Commission and Alex Crippen to the DDA.
The DeWitt City Council on Jan. 8 named the members of the city's Election Commission for the 2024 cycle and confirmed two mayoral board appointments.
By unanimous vote, the council appointed the City Administrator, City Clerk and Chief of Police to the Election Commission, with the City Assessor designated as the alternate. The council also confirmed Mayor Sue Leeming's appointment of Jared Rondeau to the Planning Commission for a term expiring Jan. 15, 2027, and Alex Crippen to the Downtown Development Authority with a term expiring Jan. 19, 2028. Motions to confirm those appointments were moved and seconded and carried without recorded opposition.
Why it matters: Appointment and confirmation of election officials and planning and DDA board members determine who will carry out election administration duties and contribute to local planning and downtown development decisions in upcoming terms.
Procedural note: The minutes record the composition of the Election Commission by role (City Administrator, City Clerk, Chief of Police) and list the Assessor as alternate; the appointments to the Planning Commission and DDA include term expiration dates as recorded in the meeting minutes.
