Council approves interim pay for administrative services coordinator while assistant city secretary position is vacant
Summary
The council approved interim pay to cover the extra duties in the administration department after the assistant city secretary's departure; funds will be taken from the vacant position's budgeted funds.
Staff informed the Stafford City Council that the assistant city secretary position would be vacant Friday and requested interim pay authorization for the administrative services coordinator to cover additional duties. The council voted to approve interim pay as presented.
City administration said the interim pay amount reflected in the packet is $1,500 and that the payment would be for up to three months. The funds for the interim pay were identified as budgeted savings from the vacant position; staff said they expected to fill the assistant city secretary post within the three‑month timeframe and would end the interim pay when the new hire begins.
Council members expressed appreciation for the departing employee's work and said the interim pay was intended to avoid service interruptions in a small department that will soon operate with reduced staff. A motion to approve the interim pay was made, seconded and carried.
