Board approves six part‑time treasurer’s office clerks to replace police lobby duty

The Board of Contract approved a resolution Dec. 30 creating six part‑time clerk positions in the treasurer’s office to replace police officers who had been assigned to staff the building lobby.

A treasurer’s office representative told the board that the change is designed to replace police lobby coverage with what the office described as part‑time greeters. “We currently utilize the police officers to allow constituents in the door down in the lobby,” the representative said, adding the office plans seven greeters in total and needs six new positions to hire them.

Board members asked whether the plan would eliminate overtime costs for police. The representative said yes, adding that the part‑time workers “will know when they're working” and that the positions will be scheduled monthly so overtime will not be required. The presenter also said the positions were advertised for about a month and applicants have already been hired.

The chair called for a voice vote on Resolution 236; members voted aye and the chair announced the motion carried. The meeting dispensed with reading the minutes of the previous session at the start and adjourned after the resolution vote.

No vote tally or individual roll‑call votes were recorded in the transcript; mover and seconder for the resolution were not specified.
