Summary

Council approved adding a part-time code compliance officer position to the police/administration staffing plan and reduced the first-year appropriation from $31,490 to $16,000 to reflect hiring timing. The council authorized recruitment and approved revising the pay schedule.

The Livingston City Council voted to add a part-time code compliance officer position and to adjust the fiscal-year appropriation for that position to $16,000.

Council members debated whether to appropriate the full annual top-step estimate of $31,490 when staffing likely would not begin until late in the fiscal year. Council member Rupaul moved and the council approved reducing the appropriation to $16,000 to cover anticipated partial-year costs and to authorize recruiting to fill the part-time position.

Staff said the request responds to a council directive and that analysis showed a part-time officer would meet current community needs and provide some weekend coverage. Finance staff confirmed the reduced appropriation is administratively feasible and can be revisited if recruitment accelerates.

The motion passed by roll call 4-0.
