Council appoints Robin Mills as part-time secretary/bookkeeper after applicant interview
Summary
Robin Mills interviewed for a 28-hours/week secretary/bookkeeper role; council voted to appoint Mills and also debated the merits of bringing bookkeeping in-house versus maintaining separation of duties.
The council considered hiring a part-time secretary/bookkeeper (up to 28 hours per week, Monday–Thursday) and heard from applicant Robin Mills, who described two decades of bookkeeping and payroll experience with a local home builder and familiarity with QuickBooks and QuickBooks Pro.
Several council members voiced concern that moving bookkeeping fully in-house could compromise separation of duties and open the city to risk; one member argued external bookkeeping preserves independent checks. Despite those concerns, a motion to appoint Robin Mills to the position carried (vote recorded in the minutes). "I grew up in Gholson... I did all his personal stuff along with contracts and the employees payroll," Mills told the council during her introduction.
