City administrator reports separation during probation; part-time hire decision tabled
Summary
City Administrator Lee Horton reported the separation of Debra Owens during her probationary period consistent with city policy; the council tabled a proposal to retain Kevin Payne as a part-time mower and raise his pay pending further verification of skills.
City Administrator Lee Horton presented personnel updates at the July 20 meeting. Horton told the council that, after consultation with Kathi, "Debra Owens was separated from employment during her probationary period, which is consistent with the City’s Personnel Policy." The minutes record this as an administrative personnel action and do not include further detail such as cause, severance or appeal rights.
Horton also proposed keeping seasonal worker Kevin Payne on after summer as a part-time employee and increasing his pay from $15.50 to $17.00 per hour, citing Payne's reported Level 5 operator skills. Council discussion led to tabling the item to allow time for more applicants and verification of skills; no vote to hire or raise Payne was recorded.
