Employee Search Update—1'he committee met on August 23, 2018 to discuss how to proceed with filling the vacant video producer role. They reviewed the job description, noted the need to review market pay rates, and discussed the possibility of dividing the work into two positions: one focused on video production and one focused on recording city events.
