Committee moves to appoint Dan Arnold as interim law director

A Maumee City Council committee moved to appoint Dan Arnold as interim law director, effective May 1, after returning from an earlier executive session.

The action was introduced during the meeting when a committee member said, “I move to appoint Dan Arnold, who’s presently the prosecutor over in the other side of the building,” and clarified the recommendation was to appoint him interim law director. The motion was seconded and approved by roll call.

The committee did not provide further public comment on Arnold’s background during the meeting; the discussion identified him only as a prosecutor currently working elsewhere in the same municipal complex. No additional employment terms or a length of the interim appointment were stated on the record.

The committee then continued with its other agenda items. The appointment stemmed from an executive-session discussion the group held earlier in the meeting about filling a public-official vacancy.
