Committee gives preliminary nod to 2025 staffing plan including HR conversion and new accounting position
Summary
Staff asked the committee for a preliminary 'head nod' to include assumptions in the 2025 budget: convert a part‑time HR assistant to full time, add a full‑time accounting position to be filled midyear for overlap with a successor, and budget for seasonal staffing; final approval will occur during the budget process.
Staff presented the 2025 staffing assumptions and asked the committee for a preliminary endorsement to include the positions in the upcoming budget cycle.
"The staff is recommending that the part time human resources assistant be converted to a full time position, and also that a full time position in the accounting department be added to 2025," a presenter told the committee, noting the accounting hire would likely be filled midyear to provide overlap for Ramona’s successor. Staff emphasized that this was a planning assumption and that final hiring would be subject to the formal budget approval process.
Committee members asked whether staging hires midyear could leave the district short‑staffed during seasonal peaks and whether the new hires would affect sewer and water rate work tied to a concurrent rate study. Staff said they expected to manage workload with seasonal hires and to allow new directors time to define specific job duties before final recruitment.
The committee did not take a final hiring vote but signaled support for including the positions in 2025 budget assumptions so the figures will appear in upcoming budget materials.
