Council approves hiring assistant clerk after split debate over staffing vs. administrator
Summary
Council approved hiring an assistant clerk (4–1 vote) to ensure continuity of operations and leave coverage; Councilman Camps opposed and asked for a comparison with hiring a City Administrator.
City staff requested permission to hire an assistant clerk to provide continuity and allow existing staff to take leave. Councilman Jeramy Allman and multiple councilmembers argued the position was needed; Councilman Chuck Camps said he preferred the city compare the assistant-clerk option with hiring a City Administrator before approving new staff.
Allman moved to allow hiring an assistant clerk and Councilwoman Alishia Hornburg seconded; the motion carried with Allman, Bowers, Hornburg and Curtis voting aye and Camps voting nay. The council did not adopt a City Administrator position and directed staff to proceed with the assistant-clerk hire.
