Wagoner council approves several personnel moves: probation end, promotion, appointments and sick‑leave transfer
Summary
Council voted to end Jordan Lancaster's probation, promote Jeff Patterson to assistant EMS director, ratify two board appointments and authorized up to 40 hours sick‑leave transfers for Amanda Franks.
The Wagoner City Council on July 7 took several personnel actions across city departments.
Probation end: Council voted to end the probation period for Public Works employee Jordan Lancaster effective July 2, 2025, with no change in pay (rate cited as $27.65 per hour). Council praised Lancaster’s work tracking fleet maintenance and implementing a new fleet system.
Promotion: Council approved promotion of Jeff Patterson to assistant EMS director, moving him from hourly pay to a salaried position at $65,000 per year effective July 8. During the roll call vote Council Member Wilson recorded an abstention; the motion carried with the remainder voting yes.
Appointments: The council ratified two appointments: Luke Henderson to the Wagoner Area Metropolitan Planning Commission (ratified by roll call) and Todd Homburger as a board member of the City of Wagoner Board of Adjustments, effective July 9, 2025. Council directed that board term limits and ordinance requirements be checked against the zoning ordinance language provided by staff.
Sick leave transfer: Council authorized transfer/donation of sick leave to library employee Amanda Franks, not to exceed 40 hours, so she could retain pay while out for an injury. Staff explained Franks had exhausted her sick leave; donors may transfer from their balances.
Roll call tallies were recorded for these items. Council asked HR and department heads to confirm effective dates and ensure appropriate documentation for changes in status and transfers.
