Council names interim city attorney and assistant city attorney after closed session
The council reported out of closed session that it had considered a public‑employee appointment and voted unanimously, 5–0, to appoint Ajit Thind as interim city attorney and Andrew Sharad as interim assistant city attorney. Both appointments were described as being under the same terms and conditions of the existing city attorney agreement; staff will return to council with an agreement for ratification at the December 10, 2025 meeting.

The mayor read the closed‑session report into the record and the action was accepted as the official report. No additional details were provided in open session about the search or the terms beyond the ratification timeline.
