Finance director David Schmidke recommended for five-year term
Summary
The Madison Finance Committee recommended that David Schmidke be confirmed for an additional five-year term as finance director, praising his focus on budget transparency and data-driven decision-making; the recommendation will go to the full council.
The Madison Finance Committee voted unanimously to recommend David Schmidke for confirmation to an additional five-year term as the city’s finance director.
Schmidke addressed the committee after Mayor [chair] introduced the appointment, saying, “I’m honored to have been asked by the mayor to continue serving as finance director, and I look forward to continued work on a lot of the efforts that we have around transparency in the budgets, our efforts around bringing data into the process for decision making and continuing to serve both the mayor and the council in the stewardship of the city's financial resources.” The committee recorded an enthusiastic unanimous recommendation to the full council.
The action at committee was procedural: a motion to recommend confirmation was made and seconded and there was no objection. The matter now moves to the full Common Council for a final vote; the committee did not record individual roll-call votes at the meeting.
