Committee approves hiring of Zachary Swarthout as public services director
Summary
The personal finance committee approved hiring Zachary ("Zach") Swarthout as public services director, effective July 27 at step 1 ($55.17 per hour). The HR director said the interview panel included Nick Burrow, the HR director, and Connor; the panel membership was characterized as not a public detail.
The City of Raynard personal finance committee voted to approve the hiring of Zachary Swarthout as public services director, with a start date of July 27 at step 1 and a wage of $55.17 per hour.
The HR director announced the offer and acceptance, saying, "Zach will start with us on July 27 at step 1, being $55.17 per hour." The HR director recommended a motion to approve the hire. A committee member moved the motion and the chair seconded; after a brief question about who served on the interview panel ("It was Nick, myself, and Connor"), the chair indicated that the panel composition was not a public detail. The chair then asked for affirmation and the motion carried.
The transcript records the hiring recommendation, the motion and second, a brief confidentiality note about panel membership, and a voice affirmation that the motion carried. The meeting adjourned after the appointment was approved.
Why it matters: The committee's approval fills the public services director role with a candidate who will begin duties in late July; the personnel action was handled in committee and the transcript records no additional terms beyond start date and hourly wage.
