City seats leadership, new committee appointments, during uneventful Reorg
By Brandi Makuski
The Stevens Point Common Council has reconfirmed its president following a six-minute special meeting on April 16.
Following each municipal election in April, city government undergoes a reorganization, known informally at City Hall as “the Reorg,” wherein the mayor appoints new and returning Council members to each of the city’s standing committees, as well as other boards and commissions, pending approval of the full City Council.
The Council also elects a president each year, a position that fills in for the mayor, should he be absent or on leave.
Marc Christianson (D1) was the sole nominee for Council President and won unanimously, though Jacqui Guthrie (D2) and Dean Shuda (D8) were absent.
All of the appointments were unanimous. Under state law, the city’s Board of Public Works appointments must wait until the first Tuesday in May
