Council Adopts Emergency Ordinance Making Assistant Clerk Full Time
Summary
Citing heavy public‑records work and staff absences, the council adopted Ordinance 2025‑50 on an emergency basis to designate the assistant clerk of council as a full‑time, salaried position and to set the current assistant clerk’s pay.
The University Heights City Council voted on Dec. 1 to adopt Ordinance 2025‑50 on an emergency basis, designating the assistant clerk of council as a full‑time position, establishing the salary range, and setting the current assistant clerk’s rate of pay.
The sponsor said the assistant clerk has not been able to work full time recently and that an increased volume of public‑records requests has shifted workload to other staff and the law director. During discussion the law director noted a large public‑records effort that required substantial staff time, reinforcing the need for additional clerk capacity.
Council voted to suspend the rules and adopt the ordinance on emergency; the roll call recorded the affirmative responses needed for immediate adoption. The item was presented as an emergency to put the position in place promptly given current workload demands. The ordinance will also be entered into city payroll and personnel records per normal administrative procedures.
No fiscal amount beyond establishing the salary range was set in the council discussion recorded in the transcript; the ordinance language and salary range were included in the meeting packet and will be reflected in payroll once administrative steps are completed.
