Members approve hiring of Carla Landgraf as pool manager and authorize staff hires

Members present at a meeting beginning at 6:00 p.m. approved hiring Carla Landgraf as the pool manager and authorized the newly hired manager to hire lifeguards and an assistant manager immediately, the chair said.

The chair told members the municipality has taken over management of the pool and that interviewers had selected Carla Landgraf for the position. A member moved to hire the candidate and another member seconded the motion; the body conducted a roll-call vote and the chair announced the motion carried.

Members then considered whether to give the newly hired manager authority to fill immediate staffing needs. A member moved, a second was recorded, and the chair said the motion—authorizing the new manager to hire lifeguards and an assistant manager—carried on roll call.

During a brief discussion following the motions, a member asked whether those hires should be treated as exempt from the municipality's planned May raises. The chair replied that the question of exemptions would be addressed when the May raises are considered.

The meeting ended shortly afterward. A member moved to adjourn, a second was recorded, and the chair declared the meeting adjourned at 6:01 p.m.

Clarifying details: the transcript includes two spellings for the pool manager candidate—"Carla Landgraf" and a variant, "Carla Landgraaff"; this report uses "Carla Landgraf." The record does not attribute the mover and seconder to individual named alderpersons, nor does it provide a numerical tally for votes beyond the chair's announcement that motions carried.
