District 8 City Councilman Anthony Byrd is under consideration for appointment to City Court clerk, sources said.
A new City Court clerk has not been named since Ron Swafford retired last May.
The appointment is by Mayor Tim Kelly.
Councilman Byrd is a longtime employee of the Criminal Court clerk's office.
He won a seat on the council by upsetting incumbent Moses Freeman in the 2017 election.
It would be up to the remaining members of the City Council to name his replacement.
