City manager to cut hours to 20 per week; council discusses transition and consultant help
Summary
The city manager announced a reduction to 20 hours per week and outlined a transition plan; councilmembers discussed hiring consultants to help complete tasks and the need for clear RFPs for any outside work.
The city manager told the council they will reduce their hours to 20 per week and outlined transition needs for staffing and outstanding work. "I am going to reduce my hours to 20 hours a week," the manager said, and emphasized that the council still needs to follow recruitment and background-check processes and that a transition period will be required for any appointed replacement.
Councilmembers asked whether consultants could be hired to cover unfinished work and discussed which tasks are suitable for external contractors versus those that require internal knowledge. The manager said some items "will need to hire a consultant to do that anyways," and recommended clearly scoped requests for proposals for tasks such as personnel regulations and financial-policy updates.
