The Stonecrest City Council received, on first reading Aug. 25, an ordinance to amend the city’s pay and classification plan to reflect position changes and reclassifications described in the FY2025 budget amendment. City Manager Scruggs said the ordinance accompanies the budget amendment and would codify the requested position changes and job reclassifications, including upgrades in several finance job classifications and the creation of an assistant human resources director position and facilities administrative assistant.

Madam City Clerk read the ordinance caption: “An ordinance by the mayor and city council of the city Of Stonecrest to amend the city of Stonecrest pay and classification plan so as to provide for certain position changes and other personnel actions in line with the f y 20 25 budget and for other purposes.” The item was identified as a first read and will appear on the next council agenda for a second reading and final vote. Council discussion at the time focused on whether staff and finance had confirmed available funding; staff answered that positions are being funded from reallocated lines and affirmed the reclassifications were recommended by finance.

Because this was a first read, no final action was taken Aug. 25; the ordinance will return for final adoption at a future meeting.
