Aspen council directs staff to prepare contract for Ted Garden Schwartz as municipal judge; two deputies named
Summary
The council voted to direct staff to prepare a resolution and contract offering the municipal judge position to Ted Garden Schwartz and to offer deputy municipal judge appointments to Nottingham and Broom. The motion passed unanimously on roll call.
The Aspen City Council on Jan. 7 directed staff to prepare a resolution and contract to appoint Ted Garden Schwartz as the city's municipal judge and to offer deputy municipal judge appointments to two other applicants identified in the interviews.
Mayor Tory said the candidate who "rose to the top for me was Ted Garden Schwartz," citing his experience and performance in the interview. After brief discussion about appointing two deputies from the applicant pool, the mayor moved to direct staff to prepare the resolution and contracts; a council member seconded the motion and the council approved it on a roll-call vote with all members present voting yes.
Council did not finalize the contracts at the public meeting; staff was directed to draft the resolution and contract documents and return them for formal action. The appointments will be memorialized in resolutions and contracts prepared by staff and subject to council ratification in a future public meeting.
