Summary

Council discussed a recommendation—supported by the judge and current court administrator—to temporarily increase the court administrator to 1.75 FTE for about three months to train a replacement; staff will prepare budget numbers for the next meeting.

The Chair reported a meeting with Judge Benoit and Counselor Davis and said he recommended making the court administrator position 1.75 FTE for roughly three months to allow training and recruitment of a replacement. "I'm recommending ... making the position 1.75 FTE, for 3 months," the Chair said.

Council members asked about current staffing levels and budget implications; one member said the position is currently at 0.5 FTE and that increasing to 1.75 FTE would add to the budget. The Chair agreed to return with a numbers report for the July 13 meeting. No formal action was taken—the matter was presented as a staff recommendation and council requested a follow-up report with precise fiscal details.
