Making sure that North Yorkshire's new unitary council keeps hold of existing council staff is one of the key aims of the team planning the transition to the new authority.
Council workers in the Scarborough Borough are being reassured about their roles with less then a year until the biggest change to local government in the area since the 1970's.
Next April the County and Borough councils will disappear, to be replaced by a new unitary authority for the whole of North Yorkshire.
Scarborough Borough Council Chief Exec - Michael Greene - says existing staff will move over to the new authority.
Michael Greene says keeping staff is key to ensuring local knowledge is retained and services continue run smoothly.
The move to a unitary authority is linked to a devolution deal with government which said millions of pounds in funding and decision-making powers could only be devolved to North Yorkshire if a unitary system is introduced.
Elections to the new council will take place in May and will be followed by the appointment of a new council chief executive by the autumn and a corporate management team by January 2023.
Almost all remaining staff will then be transferred across on 1 April 2023 as all services from bin collections to business support, and social care to highways, come under new control.
