Council directs staff on magistrate appointments and other administrative items

WELLINGTON, Fla. — At the conclusion of the Jan. 12 meeting, the council gave staff several administrative directions: reappoint Ms. Hahn as a special magistrate, advertise for additional magistrates (seek at least two candidates), and consider Mr. Posner as an alternate. The village attorney also requested a privileged session in late February on a quiet‑title action.

Council members asked staff to return with a negotiation outcome if the manager’s contract renewal is to be considered; a councilmember volunteered to lead that discussion and return with recommendations. The meeting closed after routine staff notices about upcoming meetings and community events.
