Appointment of Member to the Accountability in Government Oversight Committee
body
DATE: September 13, 2024
Per the City's Accountability in Government Ordinance ?2-10-5, appointments for the AGO Committee alternate between the Mayor's office and the City Council. As of August 31, two at-large positions opened. The Mayor has already filled one of the two vacancies so Council may fill this vacancy. The members are appointed for three-year terms with no limitations on the number of terms they may serve. If the Council approves this appointment, their term will expire August 31, 2027.
Over the past two weeks, Councilors have nominated the following two individuals as potential appointees:
Lia Armstrong
Jeri Nasci
Since more than one individual has been nominated, the City Council rules dictate that the following procedures are used:
"A ballot shall be prepared containing the names of each candidate. The balloting shall be by preferential balloting wherein each Councilor indicates the order of his or her preferences with the numeral "1" for his or her first preference, the numeral "2" for his or her second preference, and so on for every possible choice. After the ballots are marked, the total numerals shall be added for each candidate and the candidate whose total is the lowest shall be declared the winner.
If more than one similar position is to be filled on any particular body, the necessary number of candidates with the lowest number of votes shall be declared winners.
In the event of a tie, there shall be a runoff among those candidates having the lowest totals. The runoff shall be conducted by preferential balloting in the manner described herein."
The resumes of the two nominees are attached for your review.
