Council approves midyear budget adjustments, renames clerk position and sets pay range
Summary
Mendon City Council approved several midyear budget transfers funded by incoming grants and donations and approved changing the city clerk title to 'City Clerk/Office Manager' with an hourly pay range of $16–$20.
MENDON — At its Jan. 8 meeting Mendon City Council approved a midyear reopening and adjustments to the FY2025–26 budget and authorized a change to the city-clerk job title and pay range.
Mayor reviewed additions to the city’s revenues — matching grants ($70,000), private donations ($87,000), EMS funds ($1,750) and a perpetual-care transfer ($25,000) — and proposed moving funds between line items to cover overruns and new priorities. Notable adjustments included increases to capital projects for city expansion and public-works building costs and reallocation of funds for parks and playground work; the mayor said the changes are being made without tapping the general reserve.
Council also addressed personnel: city clerk Holly Gordon indicated she is leaving; the mayor proposed replacing the position with a part-time “City Clerk/Office Manager” and a pay range of $16 to $20 per hour depending on experience. The required public notice was held during the budget hearing and council approved the job title and pay range by motion.
Council approved the midyear budget changes by motion and voice vote. Finance and department leads will implement transfers according to the approved adjustments and will report back during the regular June budget hearing on longer-term impacts.
What’s next: Staff will post the job announcement for the clerk/office-manager role and implement the budget line-item transfers. Council said it plans to monitor budget impacts at the June meeting.
