The Santa Rosa City Council appointed Stacy Spector to fill an at-large vacancy on the personnel board, with a term expiring Dec. 31, 2026.

Council held interviews earlier in the meeting with two applicants. Stacy Spector told the council she recently moved into the role of chief administrative officer with Bellevue Union School District and has more than 15 years of human-resources experience in education, including discipline, bargaining, onboarding and compliance. Another applicant, Corey, described experience gained through the LSR government-and-politics program and five years working with Sonoma County and said he seeks broader experience on boards and advisory bodies.

Councilmember Fleming nominated Stacy Spector; Councilmember McDonald seconded. In discussion, council members thanked both applicants and encouraged the unsuccessful applicant to continue applying for other openings. The city clerk recorded six affirmative votes for Spectors appointment (Rogers, Okrepkie, McDonald, Fleming, Ben Wheelos, Mayor Mark Stapp), with Vice Mayor Alvarez absent.

There was no further council direction or conditions attached to the appointment. Staff said the selection will be brought forward for administrative processing and that the term expires Dec. 31, 2026.

No reportable action was taken in closed session earlier in the meeting that affected this appointment, staff said.
