Council approves posting to hire second full‑time maintenance employee; budgeted funds allocated
Summary
Council approved posting a full-time maintenance position budgeted in the current fiscal year and discussed wage range and timeline for hiring.
The Fair City Council authorized staff on Sept. 10 to post for and hire a second full‑time maintenance employee, a position the council said is already budgeted.
Council members said the position was included in the current budget with approximately $90,000 allocated to cover salary and benefits. Members discussed hourly pay ranges during the meeting, suggesting a low end for entry-level applicants and a higher cap for candidates with experience; examples discussed included ranges from roughly $16–18 up to $22.50 per hour. The council directed staff to post the position with a target timeline to complete hiring activity around Oct. 1.
Council member Brown moved to authorize the hire posting; Council member Singleton seconded the motion and the council voted in favor. Staff said they would form an interview committee, publish the posting and return to council with candidates or a hiring recommendation.
