Council approves budget amendment to make deputy registrar position full time
Summary
The governing body approved an amendment to the FY26 budget to fund a full‑time deputy registrar at the request of the electoral board; staff cited code authority for the electoral board's staffing control.
The governing body approved an amendment to the FY26 budget to fund a previously proposed full‑time deputy registrar position in the registrar's office. A speaker representing the electoral board said the board has statutory control over the number of staff and asked the council to fund the full‑time post now that money was available. The presenter cited the code provision transcribed as 24.2‑112 in support of the request.
Council members expressed support, noting the deputy registrar's office has been overworked and that increasing election timeline windows (from earlier timelines to a 45‑day period mentioned in the record) contributed to workload. The motion to amend the FY26 budget and fund the full‑time deputy registrar was moved, seconded and carried.
No dollar amount was specified on the public record during the discussion; staff said funding was identified to fill the gap and the governing body approved the staffing change via budget amendment.
