The Merrill Common Council voted to lift hiring freezes for two city positions: one in the treasurer's office and a wastewater operator position, both prompted by pending retirements.
For the treasurer's-office opening the clerk read the request and a councilmember moved to approve lifting the freeze; a second was made and the motion carried with no discussion. The wastewater-operator position was presented similarly and approved in the same manner.
No further staffing details, such as job descriptions or recruitment timelines, were provided during the meeting. Council members did not request additional information before approving both items.
