Summary

Spencer Neebiel told the council he will split time between Junction City and assisting Lincoln County/Newport during March–April, and said he would be reachable while working remotely; councilors discussed how that schedule would intersect with Junction City needs.

Councilors asked whether the interim administrator would be full time in Junction City during the appointment period. The agreement and subsequent discussion indicated Neebiel may be in town about two to three days per week and will assist Lincoln County and Newport at times during March and April.

Neebiel told the council he would make the arrangement work and that much of the county work is remote. "When I'm in Newport, and it's Lincoln County... I'm gonna be very reachable by anybody that needs to get a hold of me," he said, noting prior commitments to Lincoln County that he did not want to abandon.

Councilors and staff agreed to balance the schedule around budget needs and previously arranged vacation time. The council framed the arrangement as a temporary, cooperative staffing approach while continuing recruitment for a permanent city administrator.
