Council dissolves development and marketing position, approves $24,375 donation to FCDC
Summary
The governing body voted to eliminate its development and marketing coordinator post and approved a $24,375 donation to the FCDC for 2026 to fund those functions, with the change effective in April and a prorated payout discussed.
The chair led the governing body in a vote to dissolve the town’s development and marketing coordinator position and to transfer funding for that work to the local FCDC.
The council voted to donate $24,375 to the FCDC for 2026 after members debated prorated payout calculations and payroll implications. A council member explained the group had previously discussed a $32,500 figure but staff recalculated a prorated 2026 amount of $24,375; the body accepted the adjusted number and approved the donation.
Council discussion addressed timing and payroll treatment. The chair said the effective date for removing the position would be in early April and noted practical payroll issues for 1099 workers. A council member summarized the fiscal approach: the amount for future years will be set during annual budget deliberations, and the FCDC may request changes in July or August when it prepares proposals for the next budget.
The motion to dissolve the position and provide the 2026 donation passed on a roll call with affirmative votes from council members present.
