Bill No.40-19- Proposed 2020 City Clerk Salary Ordinance
Dawn Jones, City Clerk with offices on the fourth floor of the County-City building stated, I
want to say that so far, it has been a great experience in this role. I've inherited an awesome staff
who is both experienced and dedicated and has made the transition smooth. I have a great
appreciation for the Clerk's Office when I see the level of significance that we have. So, in
participating in all of the budget meetings, I can say that the members of the Administration as
well as our Council work hard to keep our City running smooth.
Both the accomplishments and the goals of the Administration and the Council are tremendous.
With that being said, I would be remised if I didn't mention that none of the work could be
completed without the Clerk's Office. You should have received a handout, and this will show
the amount of work that we do, who does what in the Clerk's Office and how we work with the
Council. Our 2020 department goals are more inclusive transparency to increase community
awareness and participation, which means a new camera system to ensure citizens have access to
our Council meetings and have the ability to understand fully what their representatives are
doing on their behalf. What that means is that we want our camera system to be able to interact
with the meeting. When I say interact with the meeting what I mean is if Councilmember Broden
is speaking, we want the camera to go to Councilmember Broden so that people can see that she
is speaking. They understand which district she is from and what the issue is that she is speaking
about. So, we want to make sure to make that our cameras are able to do that because that is
transparency.
Committee Chair Karen White opened the floor for anyone from the public wishing to speak in
favor or opposition to Bill No.40-19. Seeing none, Committee Chair Karen White opened the floor
back to the Committee for a vote.
Committeemember Jake Teshka made a motion to send Bill No. 40-19 to the full Council with a
favorable recommendation. The motion was seconded by Committee Chair Karen White and
carried with a voice vote of three (3) ayes.
