Monroe council adds part‑time utility account clerk to shore up billing and succession
Summary
Council approved adding a part‑time utility account clerk at grade 115, funded through the utilities enterprise fund, to provide backup for billing and metering and reduce single‑person dependency at the wastewater treatment plant and utility billing functions.
The council approved a resolution to create a part‑time utility account clerk position at grade 115 on the city's pay scale. The position will work at the wastewater treatment plant alongside the current utility accountant and is funded through the utilities enterprise fund rather than the general tax levy, officials said.
Administrator Wendy explained the position is intended as succession planning and to provide backup for billing and metering duties currently handled by a small number of staff. The council discussed hours, duties and how the position would be adjusted if it later became a full‑time role; members were told any change to a full‑time role would return to council for approval. The resolution passed by roll call.
