Confirmation of Appointments and Personnel Matters Committee

Welcome, everyone. I call this committee meeting of the Confirmation and Appointments and Personnel Matters Committee to order. It is Wednesday, December 3rd at 6.31 p.m. Will the clerk please call the roll?

Yep, this is roll call. Councilor Hardt. Here. Councilor Clingan. All the way right here. Councilor Strezo. The president was signed. Yeah. Councilor McLaughlin. Here. Say it. Ewen-Campen.

Here.

Perfect. With four people here, we do have quorum.

Great job, William. Great to see you. Pursuant to Chapter 2 of the Acts of 2025, this meeting of the committee will be conducted via remote participation and we will post an audio recording. An audio video recording and comprehensive record as soon as possible after the meeting on the City of Somerville website. Colleagues, number five on our agenda is being withdrawn by the administration and it has been replaced by a similar item with a different candidate. I see Liaison Hutter is here. Can you just confirm that?

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. That item will be withdrawn, and you're correct. Item 9 is the replacement candidate for that role. Thank you.

Excellent. So we have a number of internal fire promotions. I've reviewed all of the materials. I'm more than satisfied with these candidates and excited to recommend approval of them. And I didn't think it was a good use of anybody's time to invite them here for a bunch of questions. So if the committee agrees, I'd like to take up everything on the agenda, one through nine, as well as the vote to adjourn and call the roll on that. Second.

Perfect. Okay. So on adjournment and recommend approval of item 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and to withdraw item number 5, Councilor Hardt. Yes. Councilor Clingan. Councilor Strezo. Yes. Councilor McLaughlin.

Yes.

Chair Ewen-Campen.

Yes.

All right. With that, it is 6.33 p.m. and we are all set.

Excellent. We are adjourned. Great to see you guys.
