The council voted to approve an updated city administrator job description presented by Leon, the city administrator, who said he compiled samples from 10 Idaho cities and used them as a basis to rewrite his position27s duties.

Leon told the council he reviewed job descriptions from municipalities including Post Falls, Coeur d27Alene, Hayden, Ammon, Idaho Falls and Twin Falls and incorporated feedback from department heads and staff. The rewrite moves several duties and clarifies that some human-resources responsibilities would transfer to a future HR director if that position is created.

Council members discussed language about agenda creation and oversight; Leon described his role as coordinating department heads and ensuring necessary documentation for council packets. The mayor had requested a separate line to list "major project manager as assigned by the mayor and council." Leon said that responsibility would be handled on a project-by-project basis.

A motion to adopt the revised job description was made and seconded; the council voted to approve the updated job description.

Ending

Staff will file the updated job description in city personnel records and consider shifting HR duties if an HR director is hired.
