Huxley staff report library remodel progress, payroll timing change and credential incentive
Summary
City staff updated the council on several operational matters, including an oral agreement for the library remodel expected in writing by week's end, a proposed payroll timing change, elevator upgrade discussions with Otis, and direction to set a $600 incentive for Certified Pool Operator credentials.
Huxley — During department reports and work sessions on Aug. 27, city staff briefed the council on several operational items and the council gave direction for follow-up action.
Library: Library Director Cathy VanMaanen said she has an oral agreement for a remodel and expects written confirmation by the end of the week. She described proposed work such as removing stainless steel, adding sheetrock and installing another door; council expressed no objections.
Payroll timing: City Clerk/Finance Officer Barb Barrick outlined a proposal to extend the interval between timesheet submission and payroll completion. The council supported the change and directed implementation.
Elevator maintenance: Administrator David Haugland reported that staff met with an Otis representative to discuss suggested upgrades and a maintenance contract. Council asked staff to verify coverage on the recommended upgrades before returning the maintenance contract for a vote.
Credentials: Haugland said the city now has two Certified Pool Operators and proposed adding a credential incentive. Council directed staff to set the incentive at $600 and bring the item back for a formal vote.
Next steps: Staff will provide written confirmation for the library remodel agreement, implement the payroll timing change, verify Otis coverage for elevator upgrades, and return the CPO incentive for council vote.
