The Personnel and Finance Committee approved promoting an internal candidate to fill the HR director vacancy created by Director Chris Schubert’s planned retirement. Staff told the committee that one application — from HR assistant identified in the packet as "Britney Cit" — was received and recommended for promotion to HR director effective Jan. 26, 2026 at step one of the wage grid ($55.17 per hour).The committee also authorized staff to begin recruiting to backfill the HR assistant position. Staff noted the promotion’s effective date does not provide a formal overlap between the outgoing and incoming directors (Schubert's last day is Jan. 23), though staff said there will be transitional overlap while duties are handed off.Members moved and seconded the recommendation and approved it by voice vote; members asked about budget impacts for backfilling the role and staff reported they updated the 2025–26 budget accordingly.
