City Attorney-Elect Pete Holmes has announced the first members of his new administration, including two new and two old positions. The lineup:

Fury Bailey attorney Craig Sims will replace current Criminal Division head Bob Hood. Sims spent more than a decade in the King County Prosecutor's Office.

Jean Boler, currently head of the city attorney's employment section, will replace current Civil Division head Suzanne Skinner.

Darby DuComb, a former public defender and assistant city attorney who currently heads up the city's Customer Service Bureau, will become Holmes' chief of staff, a new position.

And Dorsey & Whitney attorney John Schochet will become Holmes' special counsel and policy advisor, also a new position.

Footnote: Perhaps the most exciting thing about today's press release? The fact that it came from Kathy Mulady, a well-liked longtime reporter who has taken over as Holmes' volunteer communications director—volunteer because the city attorney, unlike the mayor, does not get any money for a transition team. Mulady says her position is still "unofficial," but her number starts with 684, which sounds pretty official to us.

Mulady says Holmes is continuing to meet with "6, 8, 10" attorneys in the city attorney's office every day, out of a small transition office in a corner of city hall. She expects "there will be more" announcements about comings and goings in the coming days.
