Hubbard city administrator to leave April 9; council approves recruitment and interim steps
Summary
The city administrator submitted a resignation with a last day of April 9. Council authorized posting a recruitment and approved authorizing the mayor to sign an interim appointment contract so administrative continuity is maintained.
City Administrator White told the Hubbard City Council that she has submitted her resignation and that her last day will be April 9. "I have provided a letter of resignation to council. My last day, will be April 9," the administrator said during the meeting.
Councilors moved to begin recruitment for a new city administrator and approved posting an internal job announcement with an initial application deadline (staff indicated an internal search would be used before considering external firms). Councilor (speaker 7) made the motion to post the job; another councilor seconded, and the motion carried with the council answering "aye."
To maintain continuity, council also authorized the mayor to execute an interim appointment contract, once reviewed by legal, to have the superintendent (public works leadership) assume interim city-administrator duties. Administrator White and council emphasized that the interim contract will define the interim's scope and authority and preserve the interim's right to return to his prior role if desired. The council recorded its approval by voice vote; the transcript shows the motion, a second and unanimous "aye."
Council directed staff to prepare the recruitment posting, collect resumes through a target date, and work with legal on an interim contract. The council and staff discussed offloading financial tasks during the transition, including contracting a temporary accounting specialist and outsourcing payroll tasks.
