Council names five members to sheriff-negotiations committee after amendment and voice vote
Summary
After reviewing 13 applicants, the mayor presented five nominees for a sheriff-negotiation committee; council amended one nominee, approved the slate by voice vote, and the mayor voted to register his support.
The council considered applications for a sheriff-negotiations committee and the mayor presented five recommended nominees for council approval to forward to the county. The mayor said he sought people who were not demonstrably biased and who would negotiate in good faith. He recommended Jill Owen, Cole Peebles, Corlina/Coraline Martin, Chuck Damon and Greg (mayoral phrasing was unclear on surname).
A council member proposed replacing Corlina/Coraline Martin with Michael Stanhope; the amendment was offered and the council proceeded. The council then approved the five-person slate by voice vote; the mayor voted to support the slate. Members approved will meet with ex officio advisors and representatives from the local government center for mediation and process support, and the mayor said staff would outline the committee’s scope and next steps.
Council members discussed the committee’s balance of experience and gender and emphasized transparency and public meeting requirements for the committee’s deliberations.
