CASSGLBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of December 16, 2024 — Regular Meeting Page S of 21 for Wastewater Treatment Facilities for the cleaning of Surge Tank #2 and Plant #1 at the City's Water Reclamation Facility. No one came forward to address the Consent Agenda. MOTION: Commissioner Busch moved to approve the Consent Agenda, as presented. Motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Aramendia. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 5-0. 8. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Future Agenda Items Commissioner Divita suggested revisiting the City's Invocation Policy at a future meeting, and the Commission agreed by consensus to place the policy on an upcoming agenda for discussion. Commissioner Kirk expressed concerns about two items that had been approved at the last meeting relating to the creation of the Assistant City Manager and Community Information Manager positions. He stated lie felt that the Commission had voted on these items without having all the necessary information, including approved job descriptions and salaries. He stated that it was concerning that even though some reservations had been expressed by members of the Connnission and suggestions made for further discussion at a workshop to make everything transparent about what was being proposed, the Commission moved ahead with a vote to approve those items. Discussion: A brief discussion ensued regarding whether or not the job descriptions for the two positions had received final approvals prior to the positions being approved at the last meeting and whether the Commissioners had all the information needed prior to voting to approve the two new positions. Commissioner Kirk added that based on research he had done, he felt the salary being proposed for the Community Information Manager position was too high and expressed concerns about the job descriptions having been listed as still being in draft form in an email he received after the meeting. He suggested that in the interest of transparency the rationale behind the two positions should be explored further at the next Commission meeting. City Clerk Donna Gardner asked for clarification related to revisiting the Invocation Policy at a future meeting, as under the current process she would be sending out invitations in December to get the speakers scheduled for the new calendar year. The Commission agreed as a whole that she should hold off on sending the invitations until further notice. 9. RESOLUTIONS A.
