Council expedites consideration of RL 25-50, a clerk’s office budget adjustment; expedition approved 6-0
Summary
Council members voted 6-0 to expedite consideration of RL 25-50, an ordinance to amend the 2025 clerk’s office budget for responsibility adjustments; council discussion noted the request mirrors a prior proposal and expanded justifications tied to staffing and unfilled positions.
The council moved to expedite consideration of RL 25-50, an ordinance to amend the 2025 clerk’s office budget for responsibility adjustments. The ordinance was introduced by City Clerk Sarah Denhofer and referred to the employees committee and its chair, Council member Murray.
Why it matters: The amendment updates budget responsibilities in the clerk’s office, and staff told council the request matches an earlier package but includes expanded justifications tied to increased workload and duties placed on a senior licensing clerk while another position remains unfilled.
Vote and discussion
- Presentation: City Clerk Sarah Denhofer presented the ordinance and staff explained the requested amount and duration are identical to a prior request discussed two weeks earlier; the materials clarify that the senior licensing clerk is performing duties outside the current job description while the other position in the office is vacant.
- Motion to expedite: A motion to expedite was made, seconded, and the clerk conducted a roll call. The vote was recorded as six ayes, zero noes; Council member Middleton was absent. The clerk reported the expedition vote as 6-0.
Next steps
The ordinance was referred to the employees committee for further consideration; council did not complete a final substantive vote on the ordinance during the work session.
