Summary
Council approved recruitment for a Public Works Foreman, amended the City Administrator Pro Tem contract to add 80 hours of front‑loaded admin time retroactive to August, and approved a 90‑day City Administrator posting on a 3–2 vote.
The Myrtle Creek City Council approved several personnel actions at its Sept. 15 meeting, including recruiting a Public Works Foreman, amending the City Administrator Pro Tem contract and posting the City Administrator job.
Mayor Luke Dillon and City Administrator Pro Tem Zach Potter discussed the need for additional field staffing so Potter can focus on administrative duties. Councilor Diana Larson moved to authorize recruitment for a Public Works Foreman; the motion passed unanimously. Council discussed pay range and posting duration during the motion.
Separately, Council approved an amendment to Zach Potter’s City Administrator Pro Tem contract to front‑load a prorated 80 hours of administrative leave retroactive to August; the motion passed unanimously. City Recorder Joanna Bilbrey presented an amended City Administrator job posting and Council approved a 90‑day posting period on a 3–2 vote (YES: Larson, Chaney, Wragg; NO: McElmurry, Held). Councilor Held had asked to postpone the posting to broaden the applicant pool but the majority approved moving forward.
Council requested further details about pay ranges and asked staff to manage the recruitment timeline and post the job as approved.
