City Council passes residency waiver for H.C. candidate

Last night, by a vote of 4 to 2, City Council passed the residency waiver for Health Commissioner candidate Pamela Walker-Bauer. Voting for the measure were Steve Thornbury, Keith Moore, Joe Sanker, and Michael Gabbard, and voting against it were John Mumper and Victor Schneider. Chuck Barlowe was absent.

Council unanimously approved the Health Board’s salary request for Ms. Walker-Bauer at their March 24th meeting. With the residency waiver now approved, it appears the last obstacle to Ms. Walker-Bauer accepting the position of Health Commissioner has been removed.
