Council schedules budget work session; HR reports new hire and remaining vacancies
Summary
Council set a 'bubble' budget work meeting for June 4 before council; HR reported hiring J. Scott Wilson and listed several open positions. Building official said 14 single-family permits and two commercial permits were issued and several openings could open in weeks pending final inspections.
Council scheduled a budget work session to review departmental requests and spreadsheets before the next council meeting.
The budget staff member proposed holding a "bubble" budget meeting on June 4 beginning at 3:30 p.m. (staff later suggested a 4:00 p.m. start). Budget spreadsheets will be circulated a week in advance so council members can do prep work; staff encouraged questions to department leads beforehand.
HR staff told council the city had hired a candidate, J. Scott Wilson, who had signed an offer and was acclimating to his role. HR said several vacancies remain, including a finance manager, a utility clerk, a parks custodian, and a possible future hire for streets. The HR speaker urged patience as staff divide responsibilities while filling positions.
The building official reported 14 single-family home permit submittals and two commercial permits (one for an Intermountain Health clinic remodel and one for a new Andrus Construction project). The official said final inspections and equipment delivery will determine opening timelines, with some eateries potentially opening within two to three weeks.
Council agreed to the proposed meeting and asked staff to circulate materials and meeting time confirmation.
