Board records resignation; approves hiring steps for street mechanic and water plant operator
Summary
The Board of Works recorded a resignation from Brandon Wiseman effective July 31 and approved internal then public hiring steps to replace him for the street department; the board also authorized filling a water plant operator vacancy created by a separate departure.
The Board of Works recorded a resignation from Brandon Wiseman, a street department employee, effective July 31 and approved a plan to begin replacing him, board members said.
A staff member told the board they had received Wiseman’s resignation and asked for permission to start the hiring process. The board agreed to post the vacancy internally for one week and, if no internal candidates emerged, to advertise the position publicly. The Chair moved to proceed with filling the mechanic position for the street department; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Separately, the Chair introduced an item requesting permission to fill a water plant operator position after Carpenter left, and sought authorization to accept applications and move the hiring process forward. The board moved and seconded that request and approved it by voice vote.
The board treated both items as procedural personnel actions; it did not set specific timelines beyond the one-week internal posting for the street mechanic vacancy, nor did it specify a hiring deadline or candidate names during the meeting. The board adjourned after taking the votes.
