Canby transit logs community‑service hours, plans part‑time admin hire
Summary
Staff reported 79 community‑service hours performed under transit to support events and parks, said they will advertise to refill a part‑time admin role (Melody's position) to relieve workload, and described library grant decals for vehicle windows.
Staff updated the committee that the community‑service program under transit has recorded 79 hours so far, supporting events such as Bridging Cultures and park cleanups.
"As of today, I have 79 hours of community service hours, that had been done under the transit," Nancy Mueller told the committee. She said some community‑service participants will help install new signage and assist at community events, which has provided operational support to both transit and the parks department.
Staff also reported they received approval to refill Melody's part‑time administrative position to reduce pressure on current staff and allow more time for community‑service coordination. Additionally, the library received a grant to place perforated window decals on vehicle rear windows to promote library programs; graphics is finalizing designs and measurements.
Why it matters: The community‑service program helps fill short‑term needs and supports outreach and maintenance tasks; refilling the admin role is intended to reduce staff strain and improve capacity for operations and public engagement.
