Section 6. This Ordinance shall become effective upon its adoption.  ADOPTED this 18th day ofOctober 2022.  Keith Warren, Mayor  ATTEST:  Julie Good, Town Clerk    AGENDA ITEM 10A  MEMO DATE: SUBJECT:  October 18, 2022 Administrative Assistant (New FT Position)  Discussion:  Since routine operations have resumed ini full force, post COVID, II have found myselfunablet to complete more: important tasks becauseIam constantly inundated with more Administrative" tasks such as creating letters, formatting ordinances, placing orders, compiling information or reports, etc. I absolutely do not feel these tasks are above me. However, I feel like these are tasks Ican hand off to allow me to focus on the things more specifically related to my. job such as business and residential development, addressing specific citizen concems/complaints, pending Ibelieve this position was inevitable as you have heard me mention a couple times about the need of an additional position in Town Hall. COVID allowed us to put this need off for a few years, but we are to the point it is a desperate need. In a Town with the population the size of Sawmills we are able to accomplish amazing things with less than minimal staffing. In Town Hall specifically, everyone has their job and that is what fills their time. There is no one else to "Hand Off" anything to and rather than put something on someone else's plate I had rather add it tor my on. Ia am to the point Ic can't add anything else and honestly need tol handoff several things  and current projects, general management, etc.  to be effective at the job you hired me to do.  Recommendation:  Staff recommends the addition of an administrative assistant position in Town Hall.    AGENDA ITEM 12A  MEMO DATE: SUBJECT:  October 18, 2022 Updates: Code Enforcement Monthly Report  Discussion:  The attached report shows the progress that Code Enforcement Officer Curt Willis continues to  make throughout the town. Recommendation: No Council action required.    ) m 0 e  0 m m Z I  9 S -1 a 6 a a
