Council plans ethics review as dam keeper retires; staff consider reassigning duties
Summary
With the dam keeper retiring in two weeks, council discussed assigning dam duties to an existing employee (Hayden) and will seek input from the ethics commission next week before finalizing staffing and any equipment purchases.
Council discussed the imminent retirement of the long-serving dam keeper and considered assigning dam-keeper responsibilities to an existing employee, Hayden, if the ethics commission approves the arrangement. "Mark retires in 2 weeks," the clerk noted, and council requested the ethics commission's input before making a final assignment.
Members also discussed equipment and facility needs if the city changes the staffing arrangement, including minor renovations to the house used by the dam keeper and buying specialized equipment for the person in that role. Council emphasized they would take ethics guidance before a final decision and would aim to reinvest savings into facility upkeep if the reassignment proceeds.
