Council to consider internal promotions, job reclassifications and city‑clerk confirmation on June 10
Summary
Staff proposed several administrative changes — promoting the reception clerk to administrative specialist and creating a parks/communications manager — and previewed a June 10 confirmation for Danielle Charchinco as city clerk; staff said the moves could yield roughly $150,000 in annual savings in 2027.
Staff presented a package of administrative staffing changes prompted by an assistant‑administrator resignation and an employee medical leave. The proposal would not refill an assistant city administrator/executive assistant role, promote the reception clerk to an administrative specialist, and promote the activities and events coordinator to a part‑time parks, recreation and communications manager.
Administrator Bethune told council the adjustments — including pay‑range changes for two positions — are projected to save around $150,000 in a full 12 months in 2027, while preserving internal promotion opportunities. Bethune also said the draft job descriptions and a PSA for the city‑clerk appointment will be presented as a standalone item at the June 10 meeting.
On the city‑clerk confirmation, staff said Danielle Charchinco (current executive assistant) has the Certified Municipal Clerk designation, has served the city since June 2021 and would return to work in the clerk role on or about 2026‑06‑22 if confirmed. Councilmembers praised promoting from within and asked for a proposed PSA and pay‑range comparisons to be included with the June 10 packet.
Why it matters: The staffing realignment affects administrative continuity, public‑records response capacity and communications functions; council members asked for clearer pay‑range comparisons before final approval.
Next steps: Both the administrative staffing changes and the city‑clerk confirmation will be presented as standalone items at the June 10 regular meeting; council asked staff to include pay‑range comparisons and the PSA for review.
