Council asked whether city administrator can add seasonal staff during leave of absence
Summary
Council discussed approving leaves of absence in a single motion and whether the city administrator can add seasonal or temporary employees during an official's leave; staff said it appears possible if legal.
The chair raised a procedural question about leaves of absence and temporary staffing: "If we'll approve 1 of them in the same motion, can we allow the city administrator to to have add some seasonal or or temporary employment during that time?" Michael responded that, if legal, the action could be done in the same motion.
Council members also clarified the scope of the leave. One member asked whether the leave applied to both positions (the fire department and a second position); Michael confirmed the leave would be from both positions. No formal vote or personnel action was taken at the meeting; the discussion was framed as a procedural clarification to guide a future motion.
