Sun Valley council authorizes up to $7,600 for temporary clerical services during clerk's maternity leave

The Sun Valley City Council voted Aug. 16 to authorize the Mayor to enter into a contract with Valley Temp Services not to exceed $7,600 to provide temporary clerical services while the city clerk is on a 12-week maternity leave. City Administrator Robertson said Valley Temp was the only responder; Robertson told the council the service would be billed at $21 per hour and "the maximum expense would be about $7,600." Council President Keith Saks moved to enter the contract and the motion passed unanimously.

Robertson said the city had roughly $11,000 remaining from the vacant finance manager position to cover the expense and that the city's attorney had not yet finalized the draft contract because he was on vacation. The council recorded no amendments to the contract amount at the meeting and directed staff to finalize the agreement and return any material changes to the council if necessary.
