SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The South Hutchinson City Council will take up an appointment to fill a vacancy at its meeting Monday evening.
Dina Brislin is up for appointment to the City Council to replace Jeff Schenk, who stepped down immediately prior to being hired as the incoming City Administrator to replace the departing Joseph Turner.
Brislin is one of four candidates that have filed for the November 2023 election cycle.
Councilman John Fairbanks is the only incumbent to file as Councilman Jeremy Schmidt opted not to seek re-election.
The council also is due to take up a resolution to amend the Employee Handbook to reflect changes in vacation accrual formulas as well as other related provisions concerning vacation and sick time benefits.
The changes increase the amount of vacation time new employees will receive from one week to two weeks. It also decreases the annual service time threshold to allow employees to earn an extra week of vacation time.
It allows employees to roll over up to 40 hours of vacation time into the next year without losing it and allows some employees to cash out up to 40 hours of sick time per year.
The South Hutchinson City Council meets at 6 p.m. at the city offices at 2 South Main.
