Council approves $70,000 salary for incoming public works director
Summary
The Mayville Common Council recorded a $70,000 salary for the incoming Department of Public Works director and voted to create a public record of that salary in the meeting minutes.
The Mayville Common Council on July 28 approved a $70,000 annual salary for the incoming Department of Public Works director, after councilors said a record of the salary was needed for municipal minutes.
Why it matters: The salary establishes the pay rate for the department head responsible for streets, water, sewer and public infrastructure at a time when the city is managing tornado recovery and capital projects.
Council discussion was brief: the chair read the human resources recommendation, a council member moved to approve $70,000, and the motion — made by Alderperson Newman and seconded by Alderperson Dimino — carried on the council floor.
Outcome: The council approved the $70,000 salary, and staff were directed to record the action in the official minutes and proceed with the onboarding process for the Department of Public Works director.
Background: Council members said the decision formalized a number that had been discussed in closed session; no additional pay adjustments were discussed publicly at the meeting.
