Mayhew outlines options to fill interim clerk role and cross-train administrative duties
Summary
District administrator Mayhew presented options — hire from the pool, reopen recruitment, or redistribute duties with cross-training — and proposed outside training (Maslow) to build capacity; trustees asked for job descriptions, salary and conflict-of-interest safeguards.
At the meeting’s personnel section, Mr. Mayhew summarized a committee survey about filling the district’s interim clerk role and explained administrative staffing options, training partnerships and cost considerations.
"This was a mistake made by me. It was a miscommunication," Mayhew said when asked to explain the recruitment status. He said the committee returned mixed preferences (two to hire, six to reopen the position) and outlined three options: hire candidates already interviewed, reopen the position, or restructure duties and cross-train internal staff. Mayhew described outreach to a training provider (Maslow) with consultant rates averaging about $90 per hour and sketched a short-term training plan.
Trustees asked for clear job descriptions, salary proposals and written plans showing who would assume HR and business-manager responsibilities to avoid conflicts of interest. One trustee asked how duties would be redistributed to justify any pay increases. Mayhew said staff will produce job titles, salary ranges and descriptions and will include input from current employees as part of the next board packet.
