Committee updates administrative assistant duties and affirms full‑time position

Committee members voted to approve a revised job description that clarifies the Administrative Assistant’s duties and to retain the position as full time. The updated description added specific responsibilities including front‑desk duties, processing permits and licenses, assisting with board packet preparation and website updates. The board debated whether the role should be full time or part time; proponents argued the front‑desk workload and the need for consistent coverage justify full time staffing, while others said current staff handle intermittent demand and suggested a part‑time configuration might suffice. City administration recommended full time; the committee approved the updated duties and full‑time status and recorded one nay in the vote. Staff will proceed with the updated job description and full‑time classification and follow the city’s hiring procedures when the position is posted.
