Miner board appoints Jacob Sells as conflicts prosecutor; Ordinance 1453 adopted
Summary
The Miner Board of Aldermen unanimously appointed attorney Jacob Sells as the city's conflicts prosecutor at $150 per hour, passing Bill 2026-6 which was read twice by heading only and declared Ordinance 1453.
The Miner Board of Aldermen unanimously approved the appointment of attorney Jacob Sells as the city's conflicts prosecutor on May 11, 2026.
Mayor Justin Keller announced that Sells had agreed to continue serving in the role. Alderwoman Peggy Holman moved to appoint Jacob Sells at a salary of $150 an hour and requested the ordinance be read twice by heading only; Alderman Brian Bell seconded. City Clerk Julie Witt read the ordinance twice by heading only, and a roll-call vote recorded an "Aye" from Brian Bell, James Buckley, Peggy Holman and Beth Keller. Mayor Keller declared that Bill 2026-6 had passed and become Ordinance 1453.
Why it matters: The appointment installs the attorney who will handle conflicts matters for the city at a stated hourly rate, formalizing the arrangement by ordinance. The vote was unanimous, so no further board action on this appointment is required until a future change is proposed.
The board's record shows the motion passed by roll call; the clerk performed the required readings by heading only as requested. No public testimony was recorded on the appointment at the meeting. The board proceeded immediately to other agenda business after the ordinance was adopted.
