Smithville staff propose Animal Control Officer, GIS tech and parks manager for FY2026
Summary
City staff recommended several FY2026 positions — an Animal Control Officer (to be funded by Public Safety Sales Tax), a Communications Coordinator, a GIS technician and a Parks and Facility Manager — and the Board directed inclusion of the Animal Control Officer, GIS technician and Parks and Facility Manager in FY2026 budget documents for future review.
Assistant City Administrator Gina Pate presented staffing recommendations for development of the FY2026 budget, referencing a retreat in April where priorities were discussed. The requested positions included an Animal Control Officer (proposed to be funded by the Public Safety Sales Tax), a Communications Coordinator, a GIS technician and a Parks and Facility Manager (to be funded from the General Fund).
Board members reviewed staffing priorities and directed staff to include the Animal Control Officer, the GIS technician and the Parks and Facility Manager in the FY2026 budget for later review. The Communications Coordinator was discussed as a need but was not explicitly directed for inclusion at this time.
Staff will supply position descriptions, funding sources and cost estimates for the formal FY2026 budget process.
