~V <br />opinion on putting all hiring on hold until they know what the State is going to do with property <br />taxes. There are currently positions open in the Police Department, Clerk's office and <br />Stormwater Department. Councilman Langley stated that he would tend to agree with the idea of <br />waiting until they know what is going to happen. Vice President Cook stated that he also agreed <br />and would not want to hire someone and then have to lay them off. He stated that there is <br />already an interview process underway with the Police Department and that he would like fox <br />that process to continue, but stop short of actually hiring someone for now. Councilman. <br />Goodwin asked if they were referrirg to new positions or current positions that are already <br />budgeted and have been vacated. President Harris stated that he was referring to both. <br />Councilarxian Langley stated that he would like to la~ow mare about exactly what positions were <br />open, what impact the shortages were having on the departments and if overtime was increasing <br />due to the shortage. President Harris stated that there were currently two positions open for <br />police officers, with another coming open in April, one position of budgetary clerk in the clerk's <br />office and one part time stormwater laborer position. They were also considering the addition of <br />a stormwater controller, but that would be a new position. He also stated that he hopes to have <br />this resolved before the deadline for the Police Academy, which is May 22°d. Councilman <br />Goodwin. stated that while he certainly agrees that we should not create new positions, a freeze <br />on all hiring, especially within the police department, could negatively affect the ability to <br />perform the necessary services. President Harris stated he was only asking to wait another three <br />to four weeks. The Council agreed they would not stop the interviewing process that is currently <br />underway. <br />A motion was made by Vice President Cook to continue interviewing but put hiring on hold until <br />more information was available, however Councilman Langley stated that he did not feel a <br />motion was necessary, and therefore, there was na second. <br />Animal Control Officer, Mark Taylor, reported twenty-eight (28) calls, nine (9) impounds and <br />six (6) returns. <br />A motion to approve the payment of claims was made by Vice President Cook, second by <br />Councilman Langley.
