Board approves $1/hour seasonal raise for returning weed-harvester employees

The Lake Ripley board approved a revision to the Weed Harvester Operator Agreement addressing the pay cap for long-tenured seasonal staff. The revised Compensation paragraph states: "A $1/hour raise shall be awarded to returning employees, who have worked a minimum of 25 total hours the year prior, at the start of each subsequent operating season upon board approval." Laura Payne moved to approve the changes, and Steve Bieschke seconded; the motion passed with all ayes.
