Council combines two auxiliary posts into a single Communication & Marketing Specialist position
Summary
To save budgeted auxiliary headcount and increase efficiency, council approved combining the previously separate Public Information Officer and Economic Development Specialist auxiliary positions into a single Communication & Marketing Specialist, effective Feb. 16, 2025.
EAGLE, Idaho — The Eagle City Council on Feb. 11 approved consolidating two auxiliary positions — a Public Information Officer and an Economic Development Specialist — into a single Communication & Marketing Specialist position, effective Feb. 16, 2025.
Council members discussed the change as a cost‑savings and efficiency measure. One council member noted the savings could be directed toward a “dedicated project manager” position and asked staff to consider that reallocation in future budget work.
Why it matters: The consolidation reduces the number of auxiliary positions funded by the city while creating a single role charged with communications, marketing and economic development support. Staff will operationalize the new title and post the position for recruitment per standard human resources procedures.
Details and next steps - Position title and effective date: Communication & Marketing Specialist, effective Feb. 16, 2025. - Personnel implications: The action replaces two vacant auxiliary positions with one combined auxiliary position; no incumbents were detailed because both slots were vacant. - Follow‑up: Council requested staff study using realized personnel savings toward a future project‑management role and to report back through the budgeting process.
Ending: The council’s vote was unanimous; staff will proceed to finalize the job description and post the position.
