Chair recommends Neil Irwin as administrative judge; fire department promotions and hires presented
Summary
Chair recommended appointing Neil Irwin as administrative court judge and Ashley as clerk; the chair also announced proposed promotions (Andrew Miles to battalion chief; Tommy Hughes Jr. to captain) and pending hires (David Hatcher, Alec Plunkett) for the fire department, all subject to council approval.
The chair said the city needs to appoint an administrative judge and a dockets clerk for the administrative court the council created last month, and recommended Neil Irwin for the judge position and Ashley for the docket clerk role.
Separately, the chair presented several personnel items for the fire department: promotion paperwork showing Andrew Miles for promotion to battalion chief and Tommy Hughes Jr. to fire captain; the chair said new hires David Hatcher and Alec Plunkett had passed required tests and were top candidates to fill two open positions pending council approval.
A fire‑department speaker confirmed that the candidates had passed necessary tests and that the hires would be contingent on council action. These personnel items were presented for council consideration; the transcript does not record a formal vote.
