Marion council delegates city secretary hiring authority to mayor
Summary
The council authorized Mayor Daniel Loyola to interview candidates (with at least one council member present) and then voted to give the mayor sole authority to hire a City Secretary.
The council granted Mayor Daniel Loyola authority to interview City Secretary applicants on the condition that at least one council member also be in attendance; that motion was moved by Councilmember Jeremiah Burns and seconded by Councilmember Karen Mills, and it passed unanimously. The council then voted to give Mayor Loyola sole authority to hire the City Secretary, again on a unanimous vote.
The minutes record both procedural steps: first an allowance for mayoral interviews with a council member present, and second the delegation of hiring authority to the mayor. The minutes do not provide the name of an appointee, a hiring timeline, or details about any hiring criteria the mayor must follow.
