Deputy Clerk pay draws debate; board records both a failed motion and a later pay decision

Apr 20, 2026

Seifert’s initial motion to set the Deputy Clerk wage to $29.75 failed for lack of a second; the board then voted to leave the wage unchanged. Later in the meeting, a subsequent motion that included several personnel decisions set the Deputy Clerk position to $29.75 and passed.

The full story

The Muscoda Village Board’s deliberations on the Deputy Clerk wage produced multiple, sequential actions during the April 20 special meeting. Early in the open session Seifert moved to set the Deputy Clerk position to $29.75 per hour; the motion had no recorded second and failed. Anderson then moved, with Wiederholt seconding, to leave the Deputy Clerk wage at its current rate; that motion passed on a 4–1 roll call (Seifert opposed).
