Summary

The board approved appointments to the library board and planning commission, advanced-step placement for the new social services director, a grandfathered pay table for the legal office supervisor, and a temporary $500/month stipend for a public guardian.

The Board approved multiple personnel actions: appointments of Susan Smith and Sodegui to the Library Board of Trustees through 10/31/2026, appointment of Rachelle Tisdale to the Planning Commission through 05/31/2027, and an advanced step placement for Lisa Gallo Swan to fill the Social Services Director position at grade 25, step 3.

Human Resources (Kim Brown Sema) said Galloswan was identified as the most qualified candidate after two recruitments and that the position had been vacant since March. The board also approved a grandfathered pay table for the Legal Office Supervisor to preserve rates for an employee whose pay exceeds the new range maximums, as part of the compensation‑study implementation.

Separately, the board ratified a temporary stipend of $500 per month for Shannon Ernst for public guardian responsibilities covering June–August 2026 while court transfers finalize. Staff expects remaining financial transfers to be completed by the end of the month. All motions passed by voice vote.
