The St. James City Council adopted RESOLUTION 07-24-07 on July 16, 2024, establishing a policy that defines roles and responsibilities for elected officials.
Councilperson Kathleen Hanson introduced the resolution and Councilperson Paul Harris seconded. The motion passed by hand vote with ayes recorded for Councilpersons Kathleen Hanson, Paul Harris, Gene Hildebrandt and Sue Craig; no nays were recorded and Mayor Jonathan Wilson declared the resolution adopted 4-0.
The minutes identify the resolution by title but do not include its substantive provisions or any amendments; they state only that RESOLUTION 07-24-07 “ESTABLISHING ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITES OF ELECTED OFFICIALS’ POLICY” was introduced, seconded, and adopted. Details such as effective date, enforcement mechanisms, staff responsibilities for implementation, or text of the policy are not provided in the minutes and would need to be obtained from the adopted resolution document or city clerk’s records.
The council also conducted other routine business at the July 16 meeting, including approval of prior minutes, payment of claims, a public hearing on housing finance, and the introduction of a new police officer; the roles-policy resolution was one of two formal governance items adopted that evening.
