Council accepts resignation, outlines vetting process for Ward I vacancy
Summary
Council voted to accept Kelly Lewis's resignation and the mayor outlined a vetting process including a police background check and residency verification; the Legislative Committee may draft an ordinance to formalize the procedure.
The City Council accepted the resignation letter from Kelly Lewis, which had been read during the January meeting but lacked a notary. Waldrop moved to accept the resignation and Goins seconded; the motion passed on a roll-call vote of 6-0-1 (Dunn absent).
Mayor Courtney said the city will conduct a vetting process for filling the Ward I vacancy, including a background check by the Lawrenceville Police Department and residency verification against voter registration lists. "There would be a vetting process to include a background check by the Lawrenceville Police Department, meet residency requirements by voting registration lists," the mayor said. The Legislative Committee was identified as the body likely to draft an ordinance to codify the vetting steps.
