City administrator outlines hiring, utility billing review and gas-hedging plan; master-plan kickoff planned for 20 acres
Summary
City Administrator LeaAnn Myers reported interviews for deputy clerk, an open janitor job, finalized February utility charges to be presented in November, KMGA gas hedging that covers 40% Nov–Mar at $4.30–$4.50, and coordination with GLMV Architecture for a 20-acre master-plan kickoff.
LeaAnn Myers presented the city administration report at the Oct. 28 meeting: interviews were conducted for deputy city clerk (position offered to Bridget Nash), the janitor position remains open, and finalized figures for February utility charges will be brought to a November meeting. Myers said she worked with the city's auditor on the 2022 budget and attended Certified Public Manager coursework.
Myers reported the city's purchasing partner KMGA includes gas hedging in its strategy and hedges 40% of the city's gas from November through March at a price range of $4.30–$4.50 per unit (as reported in the transcript). She also said she is working with GLMV Architecture to set a kickoff date for a master plan for the city's 20-acre site. Mayor Richard Hayward warned that "market experts are looking at three times the gas prices we are used to paying," and urged conservation; Myers noted customers may increase level payments at any time to create a cushion for higher bills.
