Buhl council approves recruiting strategy and $5,000 recruitment budget for clerk/treasurer
Summary
The council approved a recruiting strategy, revised job description and directed the Personnel Review Committee to begin advertising for a Clerk/Treasurer with a recruitment budget not to exceed $5,000 and a proposed salary range of $75,000–$90,000 depending on qualifications.
The Buhl City Council on July 8 approved a recruiting strategy and directed the Personnel Review Committee to begin advertising for candidates to fill the Clerk/Treasurer position, which will be open when the current employment agreement ends Dec. 31, 2025.
Councilors approved the recruiting strategy and a revised job description, and then passed Resolution 25-30 to authorize the Personnel Review Committee to post, advertise and canvass for qualified candidates with a recruitment budget not to exceed $5,000. The motion to direct the committee was made by Councilor Taunya Teska-Erickson and supported by Councilor Towner; a roll call vote recorded unanimous approval.
Council discussed salary-range options during the meeting. The Personnel Review Committee presented market information from multiple sources and the council settled on a proposed salary range ultimately recorded as $75,000–$90,000 depending on qualifications. Staff indicated the position will be an exempt (salaried) role and that recruitment expenses are expected to be drawn from the general fund contingency.
Why it matters: the Clerk/Treasurer is a key administrative post; starting active recruitment now gives the city time to secure a qualified successor before the current contract ends in December.
Next steps: the Personnel Review Committee will implement the approved recruiting strategy and report back on outreach and candidate vetting.
