Council to move $22,000 line from salary to contractual services to fund recruiting and interim support
Summary
Council discussed budget coding and possible reserve transfers to cover interim/interim-recruitment expenses, noting a $22,000 line item that could be reallocated and the likelihood of a midyear budget amendment.
Council reviewed the budget implications of engaging the Berkeley Group and providing interim staffing. Members identified an existing $22,000 line originally coded in salaries that would be more appropriately coded under contractual services; the chair proposed moving that amount into a 300-series contractual-services code so it could be used toward the recruitment fee and interim coverage.
"There was a line item for $22,000 that we recently learned was allocated for interim file manager services," the Chair said while reviewing the budget packet. Members discussed the possibility of a reserve transfer or a midyear budget amendment to cover any gap if salary savings prove insufficient, and directed finance staff to run numbers and recommend whether a transfer or amendment would be required.
