Mister Pecor announced that Pat Ward has resigned and informed the committee he intends to nominate two people to fill Ward's roles: Zach Simon for prosecutorial duties and Rachel Reinbold for assistant law director responsibilities. Pecor asked the committee and administration to consider their appointments and to bring them forward for council action.
Pecor described Simon as a resident of Amherst with municipal court and prosecutorial experience and noted Simon is a veteran who has done service work for veterans. About Reinbold he said she is "an excellent attorney" and "probably one of the best writers I ever came across," noting her Ohio State and Cleveland-Marshall credentials and that she will assist with assistant law director duties.
