Council authorized the city administrator to immediately post the position of city secretary to fill an anticipated opening due to retirement and approved a temporary overhire with a salary increase for up to four months.

The motion—made after executive session—directed the city administrator to begin recruitment and permitted a period of temporary overhire to ensure continuity in the city secretary duties during the transition. The motion was seconded and the council recorded a unanimous vote in favor.

Council did not specify the exact salary increase amount in open session; staff will finalize posting details, compensation and the duration of temporary overhire consistent with the motion.
