Council adopts ordinance 972 to add three department head positions
Summary
Council dispensed with multiple readings and adopted ordinance 972 to add three senior positions (development services, economic/recreation director, and public works clarifications) to the city's code governing officers and employees.
Council considered an amendment to city code (ordinance 972) to add and clarify three department-head roles in Title 1, Chapter 6. Staff and the city attorney reviewed the language and confirmed that several positions (water superintendent, building official, planning and zoning administrator) had previously been reflected in older ordinances and were reinserted; the redline material included the new top-level positions.
After a brief staff explanation and a question about code-enforcement placement, council dispensed with additional readings under Idaho Code and voted to adopt the ordinance by roll call. Mayor Pike and councilmembers recorded the unanimous vote in favor.
Why it matters: the ordinance change formally updates the city code to match current organizational responsibilities and creates clearer appointment language for new department-head roles.
