Councilman questions Assistant Clerk hiring process, cites Ordinance 984
Summary
Councilman Jeramy Allman raised a procedural objection to the Assistant Clerk selection, saying council was not involved and Ordinance 984 was not followed; the City Attorney recommended adding the Assistant Clerk approval to the next agenda.
Councilman Jeramy Allman raised a procedural concern at the May 11 meeting about the Assistant Clerk selection. Allman said the council had not been involved in the selection and interview process and stated that Ordinance 984 was not followed. The minutes record the City Attorney recommending that approval of the Assistant Clerk position be added to the next City Council agenda.
The minutes do not include the administration's explanation of the hiring steps taken nor do they document the Assistant Clerk candidate’s name or status. The council did not take immediate action on the hiring at the May 11 meeting; the City Attorney’s recommendation indicates the item will be placed on a future agenda so council can consider formal approval.
Because the minutes reference Ordinance 984 as the basis for the complaint but do not reproduce or summarize the ordinance text, the clerk or city attorney's office should be contacted for the exact procedural requirements and the administration’s explanation of how the Assistant Clerk was selected.
