Parks manager says part‑time year‑round staff may see pay rise; budget first reading set for October
Summary
Staff told the board the department expects the budget to go to first reading in October and that part‑time year‑round employees could see wages rise to $18 an hour under the proposal.
The parks manager told the board the department expects its budget will go to a first reading in October and that a proposed increase could raise part‑time year‑round wages to $18 an hour.
Staff said the department has about five part‑time year‑round employees who perform trained tasks, and that raising their hourly rate recognizes experience and the training invested in those workers. The manager described the raise as subject to the budget process and not yet adopted; no vote occurred at the meeting.
Discussion: staff framed the increase as an internal equity issue between seasonal employees, part‑time year‑round staff and full‑time positions and said the proposal would reward retained, trained workers. The manager reiterated there is “nothing voted on” yet and that the final outcome depends on the formal budget process in October.
No motion or formal vote was recorded; staff indicated they will bring the budget item forward during the county’s budget cycle.
