Re: Ordinance Ratifying and Confirming the Selection of Clark T.
Askins as Assistant City Attorney and Prosecutor in Municipal
Court.
Gentlemen:
It has come to my attention that, although there are ordinances in
place appointing Knox W. Askins as City Attorney, and John D.
Armstrong as Assistant City Attorney, there is not an ordinance in
place ratifying and confirming City Council approval of the
selection by the city Attorney of Clark T. Askins, as Assistant
city Attorney and Prosecutor in the Municipal Court.
I have prepared an ordinance, which I request be placed on the
agenda for the May 22, 2006, City Council meeting.
Clark T. Askins did take his oath of office as a Assistant City
Attorney, and his actions thereunder are valid.
