Council examines admin staffing, records intern and service days for Bellevue city hall
Summary
Council reviewed administrative payroll options including reducing to three positions, an intern for records management, and rotating schedules (4x10s vs. five-day coverage). Members expressed concern about removing benefits for part-time roles and urged a detailed staffing plan.
Council members reviewed an administrative payroll worksheet and debated schedules and benefits that would accompany reduced hours. Staff had included an intern line for records management and scanning; one staff member said records management work would be part of the intern's duties.
Members flagged retention risks if positions fall under 30 hours and thus lose health benefits. The council asked department heads to map the services lost under each staffing scenario and to return detailed job descriptions and schedule proposals ahead of the Aug. 4 meeting. "Under 30 hours, they receive no health insurance," a council member noted during the discussion.
