Council places legal-fee appropriation on consent agenda; elects Stoll as vice president
Summary
Finance committee put an $11,936.25 appropriation for law-department professional services on the consent agenda, citing an insurance reimbursement; the full council elected Mr. Stoll as vice president by a 4-2 vote during roll-call voting.
The Finance and Personnel Committee, chaired by Mr. Poorman, presented an ordinance to appropriate $11,936.25 from an unappropriated general-fund item to the law departments professional services budget. The money was described as reimbursement from the citys insurance carrier related to litigation and will be used to pay legal services. The committee moved to place the ordinance on the consent agenda and approved that placement on a voice vote.
Separately, during the committee-of-the-whole session the council nominated candidates for council vice president by show of hands and proceeded to roll-call votes. After votes on two nominees the council announced: "The vote is 4 to 2." President Rebecca Gearhart declared Mister Stoll the new vice president of the Baberton City Council.
Whats next: The appropriation was placed on the consent agenda for the next legislative meeting as approved by the finance committee. The vice-president election is effective immediately and will guide presiding duties in the presidents absence.
