Richmond council approves hiring of Desiree Snow as part‑time seasonal custodian

The Richmond City Council voted unanimously to authorize the hiring of Desiree Snow as a part‑time seasonal custodian, with the appointment intended to run through June 30.

Council staff recommended Snow after reviewing multiple applicants. Unidentified Speaker 2, who presented the recommendation, said Snow "has previous experience in state facility cleanings, and we believe she'll be a great fit." Staff noted the recommendation was made in consultation with the public works director, Rovar, and Superintendent Duquette and that the temporary appointment would not affect the current fiscal year budget.

Council discussion briefly addressed pay. Speaker 4 asked that the position be approved at the advertised rate; Speaker 2 confirmed the advertised rate would apply. Following the brief discussion, the council completed a roll‑call vote and the motion passed unanimously.

The authorization covered only the temporary seasonal position through June 30; no further staffing or long‑term budget commitments were approved at this meeting.
