Sweetwater board approves promotion of temporary animal-control worker to full-time
Summary
The board approved promoting a temporary employee to a full-time hybrid animal control/litter-control position while the regular animal-control officer recovers on work comp; the promoted worker will revert to litter control if the original employee returns.
The Sweetwater board voted to promote a temporary employee to a full-time position covering animal-control duties while the regular officer is on work-related leave.
City staff said the temporary hire had worked in the animal control position for two months while the regular officer was on workers' compensation and that the temporary employee would continue in a hybrid role (primarily animal control, with some litter-control duties) until the regular employee can return and reclaim the post. The city noted it is not adding a net new position; the promoted employee is filling an existing slot.
A motion to make the temporary worker full time was made and seconded; the motion carried on an affirmative voice vote.
The board directed the clerk to reflect the promotion in the minutes. Staff said the temporary worker has prior animal-control experience and has already testified in court in a related case.
