Council names interim part‑time manager, updates titles and designates bank signatories after closed session
Summary
After closed session the Isleton council unanimously appointed Mike Wilson as interim part‑time city manager, changed another staffer’s title to interim assistant city manager, and authorized the mayor, vice mayor and interim manager as bank signatories while the ad hoc finance committee refines spending controls.
The Isleton City Council reported the results of a closed session at the Jan. 7 meeting: by unanimous vote the council appointed Mr. Mike Wilson as interim part‑time city manager and changed Mr. Barone’s title to part‑time interim assistant city manager. Council also formed an ad hoc committee (members Suarez and Kent) to negotiate the manager’s contract.
Council then discussed banking authority and internal control. Staff recommended that the mayor, the vice mayor and the interim city manager be authorized signatories for banking transactions and that the council enter a minute order reflecting the arrangement so staff can proceed to the bank. Council also discussed lowering single‑transaction spending thresholds, maintaining two‑signer internal controls where practicable, and assigning the ad hoc finance committee oversight for near‑term expenditures until permanent policies are updated.
The council’s report and the official minute noting of the vote followed closed‑session consultation with legal counsel; the council recorded the appointment as unanimous.
