Grace proposes HR director Lisa Roberson
Mayor Grace urged changes to the salary and staffing ordinance, proposing to create and fill a human resources director position. Mayor-elect Holly Brinda plans to appoint an HR chief with qualifications in collective bargaining, certification, and experience, preferring an open process with posted requirements. Brinda noted the move reflects her intended administration and not personal fault. The council tabled the proposal after Brinda and others questioned the shift from EEO MBE coordinator to HR director and potential pay increase for LaTaunya Conley.
