Board approves temporary workstation move for part‑time employee after brief debate
Summary
Councilman Reynolds asked to move Shannon Mador's part‑time workstation into the codes office to align job functions with that department; after debate about staffing continuity and awaiting an incoming clerk's review, the board approved the reassignment with at least one recorded dissent.
The New Hartford Town Board approved a motion to move part‑time employee Shannon Mador’s workstation to the codes office so her duties align with codes functions, while maintaining her part‑time status.
Councilman Reynolds reported that transferring Shannon’s job function to the codes office reflects longstanding internal adjustments and said the employee is well versed in procedures. Reynolds moved to shift Shannon’s workstation while preserving part‑time status; Dave moved and John seconded the motion. Some board members urged waiting 30 days for the incoming clerk to evaluate staffing and structure, expressing concern about disrupting the clerk's office before the new clerk could assess needs.
After discussion and a roll of voice votes that included a recorded nay, the motion to move Shannon's workstation carried and the board instructed the incoming clerk to evaluate staffing and coordinate as necessary.
