Hobart council adopts ordinance adding Legal Department position and adjusting salary ranges
Summary
The Hobart Common Council on Feb. 18 adopted Ordinance 2026-03, amending Ordinance 2025-41 to add a Legal Department position and adjust salary ranges for certain positions in the 2026 fiscal year; the measure passed unanimously (6-0).
The Hobart Common Council on Feb. 18 adopted Ordinance 2026-03, a second-reading ordinance that adds a position in the city’s Legal Department and amends salary ranges for specified legal staff for the 2026 fiscal year.
The ordinance, described in the meeting packet as an amendment to Ordinance 2025-41, also included transfers of appropriations within the General Fund for 2026. Council member Mr. Brezik moved to adopt the measure and Mr. Kara seconded. A roll call vote was taken and the council voted unanimously in favor (6-0). "All aye, motion carried," the record notes.
The meeting minutes do not provide further detail on the new job title, the number of positions created, or the specific salary ranges modified; those details are recorded in Ordinance 2026-03 and the underlying budget documents. Mr. Waldrop was noted as absent at the Feb. 18 meeting.
The ordinance takes effect according to its terms; the council record does not specify an effective date beyond adoption nor any implementation timeline for hiring or salary changes. Follow-up action to implement the added position will rest with city administration and the Clerk-Treasurer’s office for any payroll adjustments.
