justice and a demonstrated interest in equity issues such as public interest law, administration of justice, pro -bono, non- profit, or similar experience. (Lawyers preferred but not required). None of the panel members shall have, in the judgment of the Board of Aldermen and Mayor, either bias or a direct or indirect conflict of interest in serving on the interview panel. Recruitment for applications to serve on the Municipal Judge interview panel was advertised on the City’s website and in Clayton Connections on May 30, 2025, with a deadline of June 13, 2025, to apply. The city received three applications to which copies were sent to the Board of Aldermen for review. It is noted that Mayor McAndrew abstained from the review and voting of the applicants and recused herself from tonight’s discussion and vote. Alderman Yorg raised questions concerning a probable conflict of interest for two of the applicants; one a prior member of the previous interview panel which previously interviewed one of the applicants; and the other is a relative of an elected official. City Attorney Jones noted that in review of the constitutional prohibition on nepotism the distinguishing factor is whether the elected official votes and since Mayor McAndrew has recused herself from the selection process and will not vote on the appointment(s) it would not be a conflict of interest.

The motion passed 5-Ayes; 1-Nay (Alderman Yorg). OTHER
