Thereafter, any position authorized under this article shall be created as prescribed in § 2-171.

(Ord. 3195, passed 2-24-92)


Walling has been shifting his appointees around to find funding for them. Tracy Adkinson's Superintendent position was ruled unnceccessary so she is back in the Mayor's office. Others were shifted to the police department and transportation (some in grant funded slots).

This ordinance is the one used by michael Brown to oust Williamson appointees. So where is council on the issue. All I have heard s some lip service about how these people have been moved

Since council writes the ordinances and the Charter gives the Mayor the right to 10 principal staff, can council legitimately limit the Mayor's appointments. They have targeted people they don't like through the budget and any means available to them in attempts to eliminate them. Do you believe they have this right. Remember how when Walling appointed Donna Poplar he told council he did not have to have their appproval. What place in the charter does she fall into? Since her position was already created, does she get a pass?

Do you even have to ask that? Of course he will, he has turned a blind eye and deaf ear to all the things he criticized Williamson for.
