Case File 26-0284

Applies if: You represent a party with standing to question the appointment process or a department subject to internal audit

Context: The record states the item was heard across two executive sessions and was laid on and taken from the table before the final 5-2 vote, and two of the seven motions carry no printed tally and no named maker or seconder.

Recommended: Obtain the posted agendas and certified records for both executive sessions in which this selection was heard, plus the clerk's supplemental minutes identifying the maker and seconder of the third and fourth motions. Without those documents you cannot assess whether the closed-session deliberation and the untallied motions conform to the city's own recording requirements — and reconstructing an unrecorded vote gets harder as staff turnover follows the appointment.

Context: The March 3, 2026 record shows six motions carrying 8-0 but the seventh and final motion carrying 5-2 with Fierro and Limón against and Canales abstaining, and two motions with no tally or sponsor printed.

Recommended: Request the full minutes and any tally sheets for all seven motions on the Chief Internal Auditor selection, and ask the city secretary why the third and fourth motions were recorded as unanimously carried with no vote count and no maker or seconder named. Also ask Representative Canales on the record why she abstained — the minutes state no reason — and press Fierro and Limón on what changed between the six 8-0 motions and the final 5-2 outcome.
