Scottsboro City Council Meeting - Work Session

Scottsboro City Council met in the Mayor's meeting room after the Monday night work session, in a continuation of the work session, to discuss the new job descriptions which Auburn University help to prepare. The job description process involved reviewing each job description with input from all parties: employee,  department head, Mayor, human resources and a final revue with input from Auburn University. The completed job descriptions will be available for public review in the City Clerks office after the City Council has approved them. The cost of the job description and pay scale review by Auburn University: $18,050.00.

In other business: 1) Discussion of ordinances approving sales tax holidays: Inclement Weather Sales Tax Holiday, Jul. 6-8, 2012 and Schools Sales Tax Holiday Aug. 3-5, 2012. The city ordinance will be prepared so a council vote for approval will not be required during each annual tax holiday time. 2) Fire Department Organizational Chart discussion relative to drivers and department lieutenants. Reorganization will allow experienced, ranking personnel to be made available for fire scene leadership. 3) Discussion concerning the North Broad Street railroad crossing closing.
