Public asks whether construction official position will move from part-time to full-time
Summary
Tamara Davis asked the commission whether a resolution naming a permanent construction official was intended to create a full-time role; Mayor Dixon said the city must have a permanent official on record (naming Derek Leary) and that the administration is "exploring all options," but said employee matters cannot be discussed on the record.
Tamara Davis asked the commission for clarification about a resolution described as naming a "permanent" construction official while the role appears to remain part-time, saying she hoped a full-time construction official was "in the works."
Mayor Dixon responded that a permanent construction official must be on record and said, "you have to have a permanent on record construction official, which is Derek Leary's doing." He added that the municipal administrator and he have discussed options and that they are "exploring it," but said the commission should not discuss employee matters publicly.
Davis said that when the city previously had a full-time construction official, the response to calls was immediate. The transcript records the exchange and the administration's comment that it will explore options; no hiring decision or timeline was recorded in the meeting.
