The Tazewell Town Council approved a recommendation to modify a previously budgeted economic-assistant role to an Economic Administrative Assistant, keeping the position full time (40 hours per week) and authorizing a salary range of $44,000–$50,000 depending on experience.
Staff explained the position would spend an estimated 25 hours weekly on economic-development duties (business outreach, database of commercial/industrial spaces, grant writing and marketing), five hours on out-of-office business visits and 10 hours on administrative support tasks linked to economic development and other department needs. "It is currently budgeted at $44,000; I would like to have consideration to have a range of 44 to 50 [thousand]," the manager said.
Council members discussed job responsibilities and whether the job description reflected the RFP and previous posting. After a motion to accept the recommendation, the council voted by roll call and the measure passed; one councilmember recorded a nay vote. Staff will proceed to finalize the posting and hiring process within the approved pay range.
The council recorded the vote and instructed staff to proceed with recruitment and a job description consistent with the duties presented.
