Council approves $1 hourly raise for part‑time parks worker
Summary
County board approved a $1 per hour raise for a part‑time parks worker named Jake, moving his hourly pay from $17 to $18; the motion was made by Kenny and seconded by Ashley and carried on a voice vote.
The Decatur County Council approved a $1 per hour raise for a part‑time parks employee identified in the transcript only as Jake, increasing his hourly pay from $17 to $18.
A council member moved the pay increase, Kenny seconded by Ashley, and the motion passed on a voice vote; the transcript records the motion and the council’s voice approval but does not show a roll‑call tally.
Speakers noted Jake uses his own truck and trailer to transport crew and equipment and that the position is part time with no benefits. Several council members discussed the need for additional maintenance staffing at the park and flagged that a single part‑time worker cannot complete all required tasks.
Council directed payroll staff to make the pay change effective at the start of the new pay period; one speaker indicated the new pay could be made effective as of the prior Friday (end of the pay period) if needed.
