- Where it stands: approved 8-0 on October 21, 2026, with no council discussion.
Public comment
- A representative of the group Good Goat said the concern was the process, not the appointee. He argued the state ratification statute requires a detailed written description of the earlier action and deliberations at least 72 hours beforehand, and that the city's notice only gave the date. He said the city attorney had declined to release related records and asked the council to identify the conduct it was curing before voting. These are the speaker's claims; the council did not respond.
