Tower council moves to offer clerk/treasurer job to candidate Mortaloni; committee to begin negotiations
Summary
At a Nov. 24 special meeting, the Tower City Council moved to offer the clerk/treasurer position to candidate Mortaloni, named Jolene Mroszak as the alternate if a candidate declines, and directed the hiring committee to enter negotiations; the minutes do not record a final vote on the hiring motion.
The Tower City Council moved Nov. 24 to offer the city’s clerk/treasurer position to candidate Mortaloni and directed the hiring committee to begin negotiations, council minutes show.
Mayor David Setterberg opened the special meeting at City Hall at 3:00 p.m. and reported that "background checks were completed and returned." Councilors said both finalists interviewed well and brought different skill sets to the table.
Councilor Bob Anderson moved "to offer candidate Mortaloni the position of Tower Clerk/ Treasurer," and Councilor Joe Morin seconded. Anderson amended the motion to add that "if Tammy declines the position, to then offer the Tower Clerk/Treasurer position to candidate Jolene Mroszak." The minutes record discussion directing the hiring committee to enter negotiations with candidate Mortaloni; the transcript does not record a vote tally or an explicit roll-call vote on the hiring motion.
Earlier in the meeting, Councilor John Van DeVoort moved to accept the agenda as presented; Mayor Setterberg seconded and that motion passed unanimously. The minutes record a motion by Councilor Morin to adjourn and note the meeting ended at 3:25 p.m.
The council did not reference any statute or ordinance in the hiring discussion in the minutes, and no formal offer acceptance by a candidate is recorded in these minutes. The next procedural step noted in the record is that the hiring committee was to enter negotiations with the candidate identified in the motion.
