Council approved Ordinance 2025‑S‑05 to add a building commissioner in training so a new hire can work alongside Building Commissioner Rick Barr before his retirement. Staff stated the amendment to the FY2025 salary ordinance is necessary to add and assign pay to the temporary position; the motion carried unanimously after council members thanked Rick Barr for his service and requested a written retirement date.
Council also approved related salary and classification ordinances on first and second readings that evening. A council member asked staff to secure a written retirement notice from Barr to clarify the transition timeline; staff said the date discussed is January 2026 but that written notice was not yet on file.
