A staff presentation to council explained the proposal would retitle the interim assistant city manager position as deputy city manager (the staff memo noted the titles are often used interchangeably by local governments). The City Manager said the change is intended to reduce public confusion about the scope of the role (some had mistaken \"assistant\" for an administrative assistant) and to reflect that Priddy has been operating as second in command, covering city-manager duties during absences and performing significant responsibilities across police, finance, economic development and administrative services. The City Manager said the arrangement \"will continue to save the city considerable money\" and that the change requires no immediate budget increase because the position is already budgeted.

Councilor comments at the meeting were supportive; no councilor voiced opposition during the recorded discussion. Councilors called for the vote after brief remarks of praise. The motion to approve \"option number 3\" carried with seven votes in favor and no nays. The roll-call sequence recorded in the meeting named the following council members as voting yes: Councilor Richards; Councilor Sanchez; President Pro Tem Thorstein; Mayor Coleman; Councilor Osterberg; Councilor Brunson; and Councilor Hagee.

Cecily Priddy, identified in the record as the interim assistant city manager, thanked the council after the vote and said, \"I really genuinely love this community a lot.\" City staff and councilors also made light remarks about long-term contract jokes during the discussion; those remarks were colloquial and did not change the formal action.

Additionally, the council approved the consent agenda earlier in the meeting on a voice roll call; the clerk recorded seven yes votes and no nays. The consent agenda included minutes and a public address system application (specific consent-agenda items were not read into the record).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-03-25 City Council Meeting Recording","oneSentenceSummary","Sweet Home City Council unanimously approved Resolution No. 8 (2025) to formalize interim assistant city manager Cecily Priddy in the deputy city manager role (7-0).

The committee, formed in February 2016 as an ad hoc group, has helped bring medical-student focus groups from Western University of Health Sciences to Sweet Home, supported mobile medical services that provided no-cost care before the COVID-19 pandemic, and advocated for adding a Linn County Mental Health van to regular Sweet Home stops. Ray said the committee also helped spur the new Samaritan facility and added a sharps-disposal site to reduce needles appearing in schools and playgrounds. \"We have created a community resource list that is now live on the city's website,\" Ray said.

The sharps disposal location is at the Sweet Home Health Center, run by Benton County Health Services at 1023 Main Street (access from Longstreet), Ray said. The committee expects the Sweet Home Health Fair vendor application to be released in May; Ray said last year the fair had about 40 different health vendors and noted the fair is scheduled for the third weekend in August in the high school parking lot. The fair has partnered with local backpack-distribution efforts to increase visibility and reach for student supplies.

Ray listed the committee's near-term goals as continuing to support the main health fair, organizing at least one \"Mini Health Forum\" for residents, monitoring and updating the online resource list quarterly, and continuing presentations from partner health agencies. She thanked city staff for help navigating the committee's transition from ad hoc status and thanked council liaisons, formerly Mayor Coleman and currently Ken Bronson, for attending committee meetings.

No formal council action on the committee report was recorded; the presentation was provided for the council's information. Councilors asked clarifying questions about vendor counts, fair location and timing, and availability of the resource list; Ray supplied the details above. The committee members Ray named in the presentation were Bob Dalton (vice chair), Michael Grens, Dr. Larry Horton, Knowles (first name not specified in the record), Shirley Schumacher and Wanda Jones.

The report closed with an emphasis on continued partnerships and quarterly updates to the resource list.","The Sweet Home Community Health Committee updated the City Council on accomplishments including a new online community resource list, ongoing partnerships with medical students and mobile health vans, and planning for the annual health fair (third weekend in August).","actionData","errors"]
