Rock Creek council directs staffing steps, asks staff to prepare city administrator posting and tech updates
Summary
Council asked staff to gather information for posting a City Administrator position, considered direct-deposit and electronic logging for Public Works, and directed truck-use policy edits be placed on the next agenda; Deputy Clerk Ashley Rauschnot was assigned implementation tasks.
Acting Mayor Dan Saumer presided over a March 19, 2026, meeting in which the City of Rock Creek Council discussed several administrative steps to improve office procedures and to begin recruiting for a City Administrator.
Council members asked staff to explore direct deposit implementation and requested details about the setup process. They discussed the possibility of electronic logging for Public Works activities such as tracking culverts and gravel hauling and assigned Deputy Clerk Ashley Rauschnot to assist with implementation.
The council recommended an annual review of employee offer letters to ensure role clarity and to accommodate promotions or reclassifications. Councilors also directed that revisions to the truck-use policy, specifically removing the trip-log requirement, be included on the next meeting agenda for formal consideration.
On recruitment, council members agreed to continue work-session discussion to finalize a City Administrator job description and timeline. The council set a goal to post the position within the next few weeks and asked Deputy Clerk Ashley Rauschnot to gather information about posting the job on Indeed.
Sam Christenson moved to adjourn at 6:30 p.m.; Don Ramberg seconded the motion, which passed with all ayes.
The council did not take final votes on the administrative items at the meeting; staff were directed to return with implementation details and revised language for future action.
