On Tuesday night the Council met to discuss a few significant items:
- We approved the installation of a plaque in memory of Bob Hoyer in the Grove Park. As our first Mayor, Bob Hoyer was instrumental in the City's incorporation. Even after leaving city government after four terms, Mr. Hoyer continued to work towards establishing a downtown park and what is now the Grove. It is only fitting that a tribute to Mr. Hoyer be placed in the Grove for all to appreciate.
- We authorized painting and flooring work in City Hall. The work will take place starting the week of December 16 and City Hall will be closed to the public during that time and through the holidays. This is a regular maintenance item that hasn't been done in many many years.
- We had a lengthy discussion about the organizational structure of City staff, the potential of adding new positions, and eliminating certain positions that were no longer needed. On balance, the proposal advanced by staff called for an addition of two FTEs. This proposal would be largely flat from a financial perspective in FY25, and increase the FY26 spend by approximately $130K.
I appreciated and supported the new org structure. It reduced the instances of a management position having only one person reporting to them. A siloed vertical structure that we currently have can be inefficient.
When the Council approved changes to the org structure earlier in the year, we did so with the intent of reducing the number of high level management positions, and increasing the number of staff level positions. In a small city like Clayton, we often need more people to be hands on doing work, rather than more administration managing. The newly proposed org structure reflects this.
And while I support the new org structure overall, there were a few items included where the work assessing the demand and level of those positions was still in flight. Ultimately the Council took no action but instead gave feedback to staff on what level of analysis we would like to see regarding job duties and level for example, as well as some modifications that were identified.
We asked staff to come back with updated recommendations.

Thank you for the council recap Jeff. I don’t know why Tillman can’t do a review. Well, I guess I do know why, she is too busy patting herself on the back.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because she isn't the mayor genius. The mayor should be putting this information out there. But anything to put her down on this site.
Delete😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteTillman again put on a show at the council meeting on 11/19/24. She accused Rich Enea Sr. of violating the Brown Act by being at the budget and audit meeting. He did not violate the Brown Act by being at the budget and audit meeting because the election has not been certified yet, and he is not a sworn council member as of yet—NICE TRY HOLLY!
ReplyDeleteShe’s a clown. Why were so many voters blind to her antics and re-elected her?
DeleteHolly doesn’t have a clue what she is doing. She just throws stuff out there to see if it sticks.
DeleteHolly needs to be investigated for all the baseless claims she has made against fellow council members. She has made claims against every member of the dias without proof. Why hasn't our attorney stepped in to put a stop to this nonsense? I really wish Holly's supporters would watch the council meetings. I'm not talking about her loud 20-member group but the community, and I'm sure she would not have so much support. She is a snake in disguise.
DeleteI still see we aren't publishing my replies. Very, very fair and unbiased website.
ReplyDeleteCan someone please tell me why Holly's husband took pictures at the meeting? He seems to show up at most of the meetings now, videotaping and taking pictures, as well as having the computer open and taking notes. It seems really fishy. Is the husband doing Holly's work????
ReplyDeleteHolly said she took ethics training—what a joke! Holly then brings up the CBCA. Hey, Holly, you need to back away from anything related to the CBCA that comes in front of the council. YOUR HUSBAND IS A BOARD MEMBER, AND IT'S A MAJOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST! The rules DO apply to you!!!
DeleteThe CBCA is also a 501c3 charitable organization, which, per IRS rules, does not allow supporting a political candidate or government functions. The CBCA should never be allowed to run any City of Clayton function!
Holly again used the dias to go after another council member, Jim Diaz. Holly, if you have an actual complaint, make it. If not, cut out the dramatics for the camera.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeff. Happy holidays!
