City Attorney presents draft amendment to Ordinance chapter 7 to clarify appointment language
Summary
City Attorney Spenser Baca told the council that inconsistencies in appointment language were identified and a draft amendment to Ordinance chapter 7 was provided to unify clauses and clarify that the mayor appoints and the council approves; council asked for further input and no vote was taken.
City Attorney Spenser Baca told the City of Deming City Council June 16 that staff identified inconsistent appointment language across existing ordinance provisions and proposed an amendment to Ordinance chapter 7 to unify those clauses.
According to Baca, Geno Zemora brought the inconsistencies to staff’s attention. The amendment would codify the existing practice—stating that the mayor appoints and the council approves—and a draft amendment was distributed to the council. Baca said changes could still be suggested to the draft. The transcript does not record a formal motion or vote on the amendment.
Council did not take a formal vote on the ordinance amendment during this meeting; the transcript records discussion and provision of a draft for further review.
