Commission appoints Captain David Downing administrative hearings officer
Summary
The Atchison City Commission adopted Resolution 34-34 to designate Captain David Downing as the city's administrative hearings officer for a two-year term. The appointment was moved, seconded and approved without recorded opposition.
The Atchison City Commission voted to adopt Resolution 34-34, appointing Captain David Downing as the city's administrative hearings officer for a two-year term. City staff introduced the item as a reallocation of the existing hearing officer duties and said Downing will assume the responsibilities previously handled by others.
Clinton McNamee, city staff, summarized the administrative change and told commissioners the position is being relocated within city staff; McNamee said he had been serving in a related capacity and that Downing will take the role. A motion to adopt the resolution was moved and seconded, and the mayor called the vote; the commission approved the resolution (motion carries).
The action is an administrative appointment rather than a change in ordinance; staff offered to answer questions prior to the vote and none were raised. The resolution establishes a two-year term for Downing as the hearings officer and the commission extended congratulations following the vote.
The commission then moved to the next agenda item.
