Council approves leaves of absence for two emergency/public-works employees
Summary
The council unanimously approved a leave of absence for firefighter Tammy Maich and approved a leave for Adam Amule (fire and public works); members discussed temporary staffing options and possible administrator authority to hire interim help if needed.
Council approved two personnel actions: a leave of absence for firefighter Tammy Maich and a combined leave for Adam Amule covering public works and fire-department duties.
The motions to approve both leaves were moved and supported; the motion to approve Tammy Maich's leave carried unanimously. When council considered Adam Amule's leave, several members expressed concern about reduced public-works capacity. One council member said, "I I guess I'm a little bit worried that we're going to be down to 2 public works people with Adam out for this amount of time because I know how hard he works," and staff (speaker 7) described options including emergency interim hiring during the lull between summer and fall workloads. Council approved the leave and asked the administrator to use limited interim-hire authority if necessary and to report back on staffing plans.
