Mill Creek manager shares org chart showing 67 employees; council members discuss staffing, arts funding and recreation survey
Summary
City Manager Martin presented an organizational chart that lists 67 full- and part-time employees. Council members described ride-along observations, possible staffing decisions ahead, Arts & Beautification board proposals for ARPA-funded artwork and a Parks & Recreation survey showing broad support for current programs.
City Manager Martin presented an organizational chart to the Mill Creek City Council on March 11 that details the city’s structure and lists 67 employees, including full- and part-time positions.
The chart was produced to help council members better understand department responsibilities, staffing counts and reporting lines as the city prepares for several strategic projects and possible future hires. Martin said the chart is intended to improve workflows and clarify chain-of-command.
Nut graf: Council members said the org chart and a short administrative "ride along" gave them a clearer sense of staffing and departmental responsibilities ahead of upcoming hiring and project decisions.
Council Member Steckler described a two-hour administrative ride-along as an “eye-opener” and encouraged other council members to participate to inform future staffing decisions. Steckler said the chart helped identify where new hires might be needed.
Council Member Steckler also reported the Arts and Beautification Board is exploring use of ARPA funds for public artwork and is seeking one additional board member to reach an odd-numbered voting membership. Parks and Recreation reported on a recreation survey; Council Member Duque said the survey affirmed that the city’s recreation program is well-rounded but small, and thanked Parks staff and marketing for outreach.
Ending: Martin offered to distribute the org chart to council. Council members requested further information on staffing as they plan for possible hires tied to upcoming strategic projects.
