Boulder council grants mayor hiring authority, appoints landfill attendant and interim clerk
Summary
Council unanimously approved RES 2026-F to authorize mayoral hiring for necessary town positions, provisionally appointed Elizabeth Julian as interim town clerk (up to six months) and officially appointed Cindy Wilson as landfill attendant to address immediate staffing gaps.
The Boulder Town Council voted unanimously to adopt RES 2026-F, a resolution granting the mayor authority to begin recruiting and hiring for necessary town positions. The action officially appointed Cindy Wilson as the landfill attendant and provisionally appointed Elizabeth Julian as a temporary interim town clerk for up to six months while the town conducts a formal recruitment for permanent positions.
The measure also authorizes the mayor to assemble hiring committees that include up to two town council members and additional planning-commission or board-of-adjustment members so that recruitments are participatory but avoid forming a quorum. Council member discussion emphasized speed: appointing temporary coverage now was presented as necessary to keep operations running while recruitment proceeds.
Josh moved the resolution and Tina seconded; a roll-call vote recorded unanimous approval. Council directed staff to notify applicants and set the recruitment timeline; the mayor will publicize committee opportunities for members who would like to participate.
The resolution is effective immediately; Elizabeth Julian will transition from contract status to a paid temporary employee to provide continuity in clerk duties, and staff will begin advertisement and screening for permanent staff positions.
