Council discusses backfill handling under hiring-freeze ordinance; ordinance modification flagged
Summary
Council members debated whether routine backfill hiring requests should require council votes. President Danny Short suggested the council be simply informed of backfills unless members object; Auditor Diana Topping said the current hiring-freeze ordinance will need modification to reflect that practice.
Council member Matt Millies raised whether the council needs to vote on backfill requests that have been coming by email. President Danny Short proposed that the council be informed about backfill actions and only vote when a member objects. Auditor Diana Topping said a hiring-freeze ordinance exists and will need to be modified at the next meeting to match the practice the council prefers.
Topping also reminded the council of a state-called conference for council members and auditors on June 21, 2025. The meeting adjourned by unanimous vote shortly after the discussion.
