Bowie swears in District 1 councilmember, appoints Angel L. Jones as city manager and fills advisory posts
Summary
Zipporah Miller was sworn in as District 1 councilmember; council adopted resolution R-61-26 appointing Angel L. Jones as city manager (start date July 20). Council also approved a proclamation honoring Del Billings and appointed Heather Curley to the Environmental Advisory Committee.
The City of Bowie on July 30 administered oaths to newly elected and newly appointed officials, installed a new city manager and approved a series of routine appointments.
Zipporah Miller was sworn in as District 1 councilmember after the Board of Elections certified the June 30 special election. "I am humbled to be here," Miller said after taking the oath and thanked voters, family and volunteers; she said her guiding values are "faith, family, and service" and pledged to listen, be transparent and work collaboratively with colleagues.
The council then moved and seconded resolution R-61-26 appointing Angel L. Jones as City Manager; the motion carried on a voice vote and Mayor Michael Esteve administered the oath. Mayor Esteve announced Jones's official start date will be July 20 and thanked city staff and the acting city manager for guiding the city through recent transitions.
The council also adopted Proclamation P-7-26 recognizing Del Billings for 23 years of service on the Public Safety Committee. Billings accepted the recognition and reflected on his long tenure, saying Bowie "is the best bar none" and praising colleagues and police leadership.
In other personnel action, the council moved, seconded and approved the appointment of Heather Curley as a regular member of the Environmental Advisory Committee for a two-year term; Curley was sworn in at the dais.
What happens next: Angel L. Jones will begin duties as City Manager on July 20; the council and new appointees will take part in upcoming orientation and work sessions scheduled by the mayor and staff.
