The City Council considered Resolution No. 2025-3015 on appointments to the Police Officers and Firefighters Civil Service Commission and first voted to reject the initial nominations before approving an alternate slate.
Councilman Pina moved to deny the nomination, saying, "I'll make a motion to, deny that nomination." Councilman Davis seconded; the council then voted and the chair announced, "Motion 3 to 1." The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes for that tally.
Doctor Kelly then offered an alternative list of nominees. "I nominate, I recommend mister Moore for 1 year, mister Hernandez for 2 years, and mister Morrow for the 3 year term," Doctor Kelly said. Councilman Pina moved to approve that recommendation; Councilman Davis seconded. The chair announced, "Motion carries 3 to 1." The record shows the outcome but does not attribute each vote to individual members.
The appointments discussed were for an initial 1-year term (Margaret Bachman in the first slate), an initial 2-year term (Kerry Moore in the first slate; Mister Hernandez in the approved backup for the 2-year slot), and an initial 3-year term (Tyrone Morrow). The resolution number referenced on the agenda was 2025-3015.
After the appointments were resolved, the council moved to adjourn. The chair noted the time as 8:45 and a motion to adjourn carried 4-0. The meeting was declared adjourned.
No additional committee reports, public comments, or administrative details about nominees' backgrounds or conflicts of interest were recorded in the provided transcript segments. Individual recorded votes by member name were not specified in the transcript; vote results are presented as announced tallies.
