The Grand Island Town Board voted to advertise a highway deputy position as Grade 11 Step 1 for the current appointment, approving the move during its Workshop Meeting No. 35.
During discussion, a member (Speaker 8) moved that the deputy position be advertised at Grade 11 limited to this appointment; Speaker 10 seconded the motion. The presiding official (Speaker 3) called the question and the board recorded 19 "Aye" votes, approving the administrative step. Board members discussed that the Grade 11 designation would be specific to this appointment and could be revisited for future hires. The name John Carnacross was mentioned as the prospective appointee to be linked to the January reorganization listing.
Supporters said the candidate has the requisite experience and that limiting the Grade 11 designation to this hire preserves flexibility for future appointments. No formal objections were recorded during the vote. The board agreed to publish the appointment at Grade 11 Step 1 on the January reorganization agenda and to ensure any posting meets civil-service and notice requirements.
The board did not record any motions to alter pay scales beyond this instance; members noted the action was procedural and tied to a specific hire timeline. The appointment will be placed on the January reorganization agenda so the board can finalize the hire and complete any required notice or 30-day eligibility windows before naming the deputy.
