Council approves hires for finance director and executive assistant
Summary
Council approved hiring Sabrina Norris as finance director with a starting salary comparable to the previous director and scheduled increases, and approved hiring Jade Lammon as executive assistant; both hires were recommended by the personnel committee and will receive lateral-hire benefits.
Lenoir City council approved two personnel actions recommended by the personnel committee: hiring Sabrina Norris as finance director and hiring Jade Lammon as executive assistant.
Personnel committee members described Sabrina Norris as a certified municipal finance officer with supervisory experience and familiarity with the city's finance software. The committee recommended a lateral transfer with immediate insurance eligibility; staff said Norris—s starting salary aligns with the prior director—s pay (about $98,000) with planned increases of $5,000 at six months and another $5,000 at one year (bringing the salary to about $108,000). Vacation and sick-leave details were discussed and staff said the offer letter contains the precise terms; the committee moved and council approved the hire.
For the executive assistant position, the committee presented Jade Lammon as the recommended candidate, noting roughly 13 years of state government experience including records and FOIA work and a bachelor—s degree in criminal justice. The committee recommended she be hired as a lateral with the city—s insurance and vacation provisions; council moved and approved that hire.
Councilmembers praised both candidates and welcomed them to city staff. The city administrator and staff will finalize offer letters and onboarding details.
