Director of the District Department of Transportation Sharon Kershbaum Confirmation Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to immediately confirm Sharon Kershbaum as the permanent Director of the District Department of Transportation. It addresses a situation where a previous confirmation bill was not processed in time for a scheduled legislative meeting, which would have otherwise allowed the bill to be approved automatically without a vote. The measure ensures that the full Council has the opportunity to review and vote on her appointment before it takes effect. This change directly affects the District Department of Transportation by securing its leadership and the confirmation process for the agency's director.
