The Guthrie Center City Council held a brief regular meeting on Sept. 23. Regarding the city’s search for someone to hire as a part-time office worker, city clerk Kris Arrasmith said there were three applicants, and the position will ideally be 30-35 hours per week, which will qualify for benefits.
Councilmember Garold Thomas asked how this potential new hire will impact the city’s two “fill-in” office staff.
“They’re phasing out. They’re going to help me with training and some other things, but they are going to simply be on an ‘on-call’ basis, for if somebody goes on vacation,” Arrasmith said.
Councilmember Ian Steensen commented on the hours report regarding the city’s law enforcement coverage by the Sheriff’s Department staff.
“A lot of reserve hours over the last two weeks,” he said.
As part of the consent agenda items, the council approved four building/fence permits. Those approved included Little Charger ELC (fence), 806 North St. (garage, Thompson), 907 Main St. (house, Tri-Co Lumber), and 108 N. 12thSt. (shed, Martinez)
The next regular meeting of the Guthrie Center City Council will be Monday, Oct. 14 at 6:30 p.m. The public is welcome.
