Board approves posting for two utility positions despite a dissent
Summary
The Lawrenceburg City board authorized posting a water laborer and an electric apprentice position, contingent on union approval; both motions were declared carried though one board member voiced opposition on each vote.
The Lawrenceburg City board voted to post two utility job openings — a water laborer and an electric apprentice — with both approvals made contingent on union sign-off.
A board member moved to post the water laborer position and another board member seconded the motion. During the voice vote one member said "I opposed," but the chair declared the motion to carry. The board then moved and seconded to post the electric apprentice position; again one member voiced opposition and the chair declared the motion carried. In both cases the postings were to proceed only if the union raised no objections; if the union objects staff said they would return to the board for further action.
The motions did not record mover and seconder names in the transcript. The chair asked that, if the union has no issues, Jenny be authorized to post the positions; if the union requests changes, staff will bring the matter back to the board.
Next steps: staff will follow up with the union. If the union approves, Jenny will post the water laborer and electric apprentice positions. If the union requests changes, the board will revisit the postings.
