Police Complaints Board Paul Ashton Confirmation Resolution of 2025
This is a procedural confirmation resolution, not a substantive bill. It simply confirms Mayor Bowser's nomination of Paul Ashton for reappointment as the Ward 5 member of the Police Complaints Board. The resolution formally asks the Council to approve his reappointment for a term ending January 12, 2028. It directly affects Paul Ashton (the nominee) and the Police Complaints Board (which gains a confirmed member). No policy changes are made; the resolution only facilitates the appointment process.

MINOR
The document was converted from a Mayor's nomination letter and attached biographical resume into the formal enrolled text of a Council resolution. The substantive policy content, including the nominee's name, position, term dates, and legal citations, remained unchanged; the primary modifications were structural, removing the cover letter and reformatting the resume into the official resolution text.
TECHNICAL
Removed the Mayor's nomination letter, signature block, and the detailed biographical resume attached to the original document.
Added the formal enrolled header and resolution text structure required for official legislative records.
Reformatted the nominee's employment history and education details from a resume format into the concise text of the resolution.
