Motion to appoint officers stalls; no appointments made

Kechi City Council · May 14, 2026

Summary

Mayor Harris removed 'CA Jensby' from an authorization list and proposed appointments excluding the police chief; a motion to approve the appointments received no second and failed, leaving the positions unchanged.

At the May 14 meeting the mayor removed 'CA Jensby' from the authorized list, saying Jensby is appointed by ordinance, and said she recommended appointments for the items on the agenda except for Chief of Police Braden Moore. Councilmember Theresa Morlan moved to appoint all the listed officers except the police chief. The motion "received no second" and the minutes record "MOTION DIED," so no appointments were made.

The minutes do not record debate, a reason for the lack of a second, or any subsequent scheduling to revisit the appointments. The council therefore left the appointment items unchanged at the close of the meeting.
