Summary

Clerk told officials the budget should include roughly $7,500 to pay a new senior-services hire during a training overlap while the incumbent prepares for retirement.

Clerk (S3) said the senior-services budget includes a temporary salary increase for the incoming employee so they can be trained before the current employee leaves, estimating about $7,500 to cover the overlap. Officials acknowledged the cost and said they would add that line to the draft so hiring can proceed with training coverage.

Participants agreed the new hire should have roughly two months overlap for training and that staff would finalize the exact line-item amount in the draft before posting the notice in the paper. No formal hiring action or vote was recorded in the transcript.
